Auto Refresh a WebPage

Asked by rcmb in FrontPage-Expressions

Tags: refresh, auto, page

When you click refresh in the browser it refreshes the page and returns the screen view where you last had it. Is there a way to code this action so that I can auto refresh the page and return the viewer back to where they were in the page?Start Free Trial

When you say "auto refresh" do you mean every so often, or when clicking a button? How do you want the page to be refreshed?
 
11.11.2003 at 06:46AM PST, ID: 9722475
rcmb:
I would like the page to refresh every so often like every 2 minutes.
 
11.11.2003 at 06:48AM PST, ID: 9722490
seanpowell:
Well, the easiset way would be to add this to the <head> section of your page:

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="120 ;url=index.html">
 
11.11.2003 at 06:50AM PST, ID: 9722508
rcmb:
I have tried that code and it refreshes the page but it always return me to the top of the page. I want the page to refresh and return to where the viewer was last viewing the page (say 3/4 down the page).
 
11.11.2003 at 06:51AM PST, ID: 9722512
seanpowell:
But you should know that this won't trap where the page was - you would need some complicated scripting to figure out where the position of the scrollbar is at the precise moment before the refresh...
 
11.11.2003 at 06:52AM PST, ID: 9722516
seanpowell:
Sorry - we got overlapped there. Read the above... can you explain why you're trying to do this - perhaps there's another way.

rcmb:
Is there a way to assign a dynamic bookmark and then use

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="120 ;url=index.html#bookmark">

as the code?
 
11.11.2003 at 06:54AM PST, ID: 9722531
seanpowell:
We can certainly appending the bookmark notation - but you still have the problem of knowing whether the user was viewing that dynamically created bookmark or not...

I have an ASP page that displays the status of equipment/operations onboard US Navy Submarines. The different watchsections on the ship provide input as things change. When the Officer of the Deck views the master page I want the page to refresh every 2 minutes to gather any changes that may have been submitted. The problem is the page is very long and it the Officer of the Deck is reading Weapons Status and the page refreshes then he has to scroll all the way back down the page.
 
11.11.2003 at 07:41AM PST, ID: 9722959
seanpowell:
Yes, that's going to be a problem.

There are other options then. One would be to use separate iframe's on the page, and have the content in the iframe refresh, as opposed to the parent page. Is that an option for you?
 
11.11.2003 at 07:56AM PST, ID: 9723099
seanpowell:
For example:

<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<p>Equipment:<br />
<iframe height="200" width="600" src="equip.html" id="frame1" name="frame1" scrolling="no"></iframe></p>
<p>Operations:<br />
<iframe height="200" width="600" src="oper.html" id="frame2" name="frame2" scrolling="no"></iframe></p>
<p>Weapon Status:<br />
<iframe height="200" width="600" src="stat.html" id="frame3" name="frame3" scrolling="no"></iframe></p>
</html>

And each iframe page has <META http-equiv=refresh content=120> in the head section

seanpowell,

I think you have a great idea there. Not only will that somewhat solve my problem but it will make management of the page much easier. I am going to build that page tomorrow and I will let you know how it worked.

Thanks - I was just thinkng about the page management issue given your description of what type of information you're processing. I thought that if you could deal with separate components that can easily be included/deleted from various screens it might be quite helpful.

Let me know if you need any work done on the front end, it's what I do for a living ;-)
