MmmVomit Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 This sounds like a job for JavaScript. http://www.javascript-page.com/clock.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crew-Portal Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 if you dont want javascript replace your body tag with <body onLoad="setTimeout('location.reload()', 1000)"> Then it should refresh ever second! Oops wait I do believe this is javascript oops! ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psycho Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 Well, you could use the META refresh property, but why? This is definitely a JS solution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
