 Is this possible Is it possible to programme a web page to change automatically after a designated time lapse without any intervention by the viewer. Note I don't want the page to refresh, i want it to move on to a different page. If this is possible, what programme language is it likely to be done in so that i can contact a relevant programmer to get detailed assistance. Thanks.....         |

| You can setup a max date/time and compare it with the current date/time and if it's not smaller or the same (=) redirect (301) to the new page

| Is he not looking for a meta refresh to load a separate page? Google meta refresh to see if that suits.

| I think is looking for a promotional page to run for a certain amount of time (1 month) than after that if anyone goes to the particular URL it can not be valid any longer so redirect to another page. |

putting a simple Code: <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="300;url=http://www.mywebsite.com/page2.htm">

| that implies to me they don't want that page to refresh and the url stay the same ... with some dynamic content loading ...  Ah well I think its just a matter of we're all reading it differently and we'll know more when they get back to us  |

| The word 'slideshow' comes to mind here for me. That's the way I'm reading it anyway.  I think he's just looking for an automatic 'move to page 2', then page 3, etc. |

| Thanks for your feedback Thanks all very much for your feedback. I think the meta refres option is what i need. Basically I am engaged in the development of a database which will be used to drive both websites and information screens posted in buildings. The screens will be connected to the internet The screens will be dumb (by this I mean non interactive) So I want the screens to change, not just with updated information but with different information cycling over time during the day. (Gosh, I hope I am explaining this right). Thanks again |
