Client
Pull...
A client pull
allows the server to tell the browser to load a certain document in
a certain number of seconds.
<HTML><META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT=1>
<HEAD><TITLE>Client Pull Example</TITLE>
<BODY>
<H1>Client Pull Example</H1>
This document will reload itself once every second.
</BODY></HTML>
The line
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT=1> tells the
browser to request the page again in 1 second. Some sites use this
type of client pull to refresh a document such as stock quotes or a
video camera pointed at a city street.
Client pulls
can also load a different document in a predefined number of
seconds.
<HTML><META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="5; URL=http://www.kennesaw.edu">
<HEAD><TITLE>Now Loading...</TITLE>
<BODY>
This example will send you to KSU's home page in 5 seconds.
</BODY></HTML>
Changing
CONTENT=1 to CONTENT="5; URL=<my URL>"
makes it go somewhere else once the time has elapsed.
