There are some websites with information that are updated every minute or seconds without an auto refresh function. Some information might be oppurtunities which could be missed when the browsed site has not been refreshed or reloaded manually. The code below has an auto reload or refresh function that might be helpful for you. To see the result, just copy the code into an editor program and save it as an html file.
The CODE (note: preferedURLaddress is the URL address to be reloaded):
<HTML><HEAD><TITLE>TheOnlineMatrix Auto Reload</TITLE></HEAD><BODY>
<A href=”javascript:winpop(369,501,’preferedURLaddress’,'w2′);” > Reload </a>
<SCRIPT type=text/javascript>
function winpop(yy,xx,url,titlepage){
yya=(window.screen.height-yy)/2;
xxa=(window.screen.width-xx)/2;
rr=window.open(url,titlepage,”scrollbars=no, status=no, menubar=no, titlebar=no,
toolbar=0, resizable=1, location=0, height=” + yy + “, width=” + xx + “,left=” + xxa + “, top=” + yya);
rr.focus();
setTimeout(”refreshpg();”,50000);}
function refreshpg(){
var randomnumber=Math.floor(Math.random()*8)
rr.location.href=”preferedURLaddress”; rr.focus();
setTimeout(”refreshpg();”,(randomnumber+10)*10000);}
</SCRIPT></BODY></HTML>
