    Timer Function ??

    I need a function that every 5 seconds a different web page will be called.
    Where is a good reference to local something similar to this?

    You may try to make it like this:

    <html>
    <body>
    <iframe id="frameId" width="100%" height="100%" frameborder="0"
    scrolling="auto "></iframe>


    <script type="text/javascript">

    var urlArray = new Array();

    // Array of urls to rotate through
    urlArray[0] = 'http://www.google.com' ;
    urlArray[1] = 'http://www.google.de';
    urlArray[2] = 'http://www.google.fr';

    var urlCounter = 0;

    function goToUrl() {
    var idx = urlCounter % urlArray.length ; //which index of urlArray to use
    urlCounter ++;
    document.frames['frameId'].location.href = urlArray[idx];
    }

    var interval = setInterval("go ToUrl()",5000);

    </script>
    </body>
    </html>

    Of course this is just an examle, but I Hope this will put you on the right
    track

      This is utter nonsense. No Internet connection that is available to
      common people is nowadays that fast, unless you link only low-quality
      websites. Besides, what do you tell the user who is complaining that
      you force him/her to download data that he/she never requested?

        You have no clue what you are talking about. Ever heard of a
        news-ticker? Obviously not.

        Can you back *any* of that up with research?

        Unless the site is *very* loaded with images, I don't know of many sites
        that I can't load in 5 seconds. And I have a "very available to common
        people" Cable Connection, with the US Based subscriber base growing
        daily. DSL connections are comparable in speed as well.

        Your move stupid.
