Hi,

I'm a programming novice (ie I know nothing, except I'm quite good with Dreamweaver and that's as far as it goes). However, I need some form of script to put online that will do the following:

Say you have a large selection of basic HTML pages, number page0.html, page1.html etc all the way up to page90.html. I need a way to switch from one page to the next page in the sequence once per minute, starting at a set time based on the server time. So, for instance, page0.html is the start page, and the starting time is when the time reaches 3:00pm GMT. When the server time reaches 3:01pm GMT, it switches the window to page1.html. 3:02pm, page2.html, etc, switching each minute all the way up to page90.html.

How could I go about doingthat? Is there a fairly simple solution, and if there isn't a fairly simple solution, is anyone out there willing to help me? Like I said I'm a novice so I have no idea if what I have outlined is possible, let alone simple. Please get back to me andask as many questions as you like.

Thanks for your time, everyone.

Ollie

Instead of a script approach how about using Meta tags in the HTML header. It will allow the loading of a new page after a specified number of seconds. The problem is that you'll have to start it up manually. Like this:

In page1.html:

In page2.html:

And. so on. Hope this helps.
