I have an HTML file that uses tabs and data binding. What I do is generate comma-delimited files and use data binding to display the data. The .csv files are constantly being updated, and I want this to be reflected on the HTML page without having to manually reload. How can I do this?

First, I assume you are using a Tabular Data Control bound to your table. Assuming this is true, be sure to declare a JScript procedure (no, not javascript, this only works in IE) such as:
This probably ought to go in your page's HEAD, preferably after your OBJECT declaration of your TDC.
Then in your BODY tag:
This assumes that your TDC is called "objTDC" and that you want it to reload data every 10 seconds (10000 milliseconds).
I haven't verified all this, but resetting the DataURL (even to itself) causes the TDC to reload data when you subsequently Reset it.
See:
and when you get there click on "DataURL" in the Properties list shown there.
Then you need to invoke setTimeout properly. See:
Note: the code snippets above have not been tested.
Code:
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JScript">
function dataReload()
{ objTDC.DataURL = objTDC.DataURL;
objTDC.Reset();
}
</SCRIPT>Then in your BODY tag:
Code:
<BODY onLoad='Window.setTimeout("dataReload()", 10000)'>I haven't verified all this, but resetting the DataURL (even to itself) causes the TDC to reload data when you subsequently Reset it.
