It is on the same domain and will be put on 1.htm I already have a timer refresh script on 2.htm, 3.htm etc that takes it to the next page when the audio is finished from each page.

Do you want to redirect to that page or open a new window?

In your window onload, execute a function which runs at set intervals using setInterval. How often depends on how accurate you wish to be.

Then check out the Date object. Use that to determine the current time. If the time is right, either change the location using location.href=. .. or open a new window depending on what you want.

ok your trying way to hard i guess? use a windows scheduled task to open page2.htm at 7pm every day.

Yes but it has to open the URL in the webcast browser not the default windows browser?

So use location.href to change the url.

I have looked at all the suggestions and they are great, but I still can't get it to work. The Windows Task opens the page in IE no matter what I do it also opens a new instance of IE even if I have on already open which is a problem because I need to be logged in as a moderator to control the webcast. I already use timer script to go from 2.htm to 3.htm ect. All I need is a script to put on the index page that automatically goes to 2.htm at 7pm CST everyday. This would completely automate the webcast. I would be willing to make a donation or pay someone to not point me in the right direction, but provide me a working script. Thanks looking forward to your response.
