Hi !

I don't know programming in Perl. But came to know that cookie programming can be done thru this. My problem is, I want the home page to be displayed automatically if the system has loaded one of my HTML pages and remains idle for 5 mins. in any one of the linked pages.

Solution is sought.

Thanx in advance.

I don't know that you need cookies to do this, you ought to be able to do it with javascript, or even a meta refresh tag. This might do it:
Code: 
<meta http-equiv=&quot;refresh&quot; content=&quot;300;URL=http://www.yourdomain.com/index.html&quot;>
The 300 is 300 seconds (5 minutes). This tag goes in your <head> section of the page. Tracy Dryden

Although I don't know of a solution to your problem, the above solution would reload the page in 5 minutes whether the computer was idle or not, wouldn't it?

It would, as long as that page stayed up. If it were reloaded by going to another page and back the timer would restart again. Unless someone is likely to spend more than 5 minutes on a particular page without being &quot;idle&quot;, this shouldn't be a problem. Tracy Dryden
