Auto page switch

tomothy · May 2, 2002

Does anyone know if ASP can be used to make a website flick through a number of pages automaticaly? i.e after 15 seconds the website page changes. If so how do I go about doing it? If ASP won't do it what about other methods like JavaScript? Any help you can give would be cool

Thank you

Javascript wouild probably be the way to go with this. I would do something like:

<html>
<head>
<script language="JavaScript">

</script>
</head>
<body onLoad="nextPage();">
</body>
</html>

This was on the fly so might not be 100%.
Now, if you wanted ASP to dynamically change the next page all you would need to do is have it change the name in the javascript function.

There is a way to do it off of the HTTP-EQUIV=REFRESH option as part of the META tag. I have seen it done, and have even done it myself in the past, but can't get it to work in testing today. There is a decent bit of info about it at MSDN.

Hope that helps

Fixed it

<meta HTTP-EQUIV=REFRESH CONTENT="#ofSecs; URL=

http://www.yournextpage.com">

This will auto refresh the page to the location in the URL string after how ever many seconds you want.
