If you are using the time on their computer it is fairly easy....

<script>

now = new Date()
refreshTime = new Date(now.getFullYear(), now.getMonth(), now.getDay(), 14, 0, 0, 0)
if (refreshTime > now){
refreshTime.setDay(refreshTime.getDay() + 1)
}

function checkTime(){
now = new Date()
if (now > refreshTime){
document.location = &quot;myPage.htm&quot;
}
setTimeout(&quot;checkTime()&quot;,1000)
}

</script>
<body onLoad=&quot;checkTime()&quot;>

The W3C advise against meta-refreshes (for accessibility reasons, amongst others). The preferred method is server-side refreshes. An advantage is that this does not require the user to have a javascript enabled client.

brightstar - What platform are you developing on?
static site? php? asp? etc...
