It's been a looooooooooong day and I'm pulling this one out of my arse so if I sound like I'm smokin' crack take pity on me.... Sounds kinda like you are talking about a 'dashboard'.... it requeries itself every X minutes or so to update stuff on the page like "Orders placed this hour" or "Support Calls Matt Didn't Answer Because He No Longer Gives a Flying Flip".... you know, the important stuff.... So, IIRC HTML has a REFRESH option that will, as the command name implies, refresh the page by reloading it. Soooo, here's where it gets fun. Create your dashboard page dynamically using ASP or something (I'd prefer PHP myself), and when it comes time to write the REFRESH option you can write it the 'X' value as described before. Thus - you can 'push' the reload of the page by changing it's REFRESH value. -- Matt Jarvis Eugene, Oregon USA _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/capt54rblwx5s7fxkjwucuri+4h7uko2mezaacvwchybe9d3...@mail.gmail.com ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
