Page Auto Refresh

Hey,

I am working on a page with several webcam shots that I need to automatically refresh. Obviously this can be done with the meta tag or javascript however:

Some of the webcams shots load at different times, and some take up to a minute to come back. I would like the page to refresh every 10 seconds whether or not the page has "completely" loaded, is this possible?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Welcome to DevShed, cstringy!

Why do you imagine is it not possible? Have you run into issues? Which Javascript method have you tried?

Thanks for responding, right now I am using:

<script type="text/javascript">
window.onload = setupRefresh;

function setupRefresh() {
setTimeout("refreshPage();", 5000); // milliseconds
}
function refreshPage() {
window.location = location.href;
</script>

This is refreshing the page, but I am wondering if I can set like an actual timeout period (not dependent on the page fully loading)... The issue I am having is not being able to refresh the page every 10 seconds. If the page takes 30 seconds to load, I am stuck with a 40 second refresh. I guess this would be a JS question =\

Well, you are telling the script to run when the document finishes loading, so remove that and you should be good. The Javascript is in the HEAD tags?

YOU ARE THE GREATEST!!!

Thank you so much, I am struggling to figure out how JS works so its hard to edit code I find... you just made my day.

Glad you got it working
