I would like to make a webpage filled with hotlinked dynamic jpegs from livewebcams
of surf beaches around the world.

1Is there a simple html script that can automatically refresh the page every minute or two minutes?

2.how can i get the actual image to display if it is not a jpeg etc file eg.

1).To reload the document itself:

<HEAD>
<META HTTP-EQUIV=REFRESH CONTENT=5>
</HEAD>

CONTENT=5 means wait for 5 seconds to reload the page.

2). Don't understand... :(

Brilliant thanks alot

basically alot of those surfwebcams use frame by frame jpgs (all have the same name) hence if you reload it itll change

eg
http://www.hatchcam.com/liveimage/camera1.jpg


- likewise with the swf versions
however in the case of

something like this:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<HEAD>
<META HTTP-EQUIV=REFRESH CONTENT=120>
</HEAD>
<body bgcolor=black text=lightblue>
<center>refreshes every 2 minutes<br>
<img src="http://www.kitewindsurf.com/kitecam/get_windcam_image.aspx">
<br>
<img src="http://www.windsurfing.cz/webcam9/ispy_m2.jpg?570">
</center>
</body>
</html>
as far as the other link that is a webpage you could use IFrames but that page jumps out of the frame.
but since the first image is dated nov 9th i dont think you need to refresh it every 2 minutes

If you use Opera, in the right-click menu there's a section called "refresh every" that will let you define the time between automatic refreshes. It's great for the end of ebay auctions and stuff.

he wants a scripts for his website so it reloads pages automaticly for vistors, like suprnova.
