Dec 30.2002

but its not that simple. i want to automatically refresh a page every 5 seconds. but, i want it to go to the bottom of that page each refresh. ive made the following tag at the bottom of the page:

<a name=”bottom”></a>

now what javascript should i use to automatically refresh to the bottom every 5 seconds for an infimate amount of times.

thank you.

@jschweed3Dec 30.2002 — I don't think I have time to write the script, but I can tell you what to do

you need to use a while loop, since you don't know any values

setTimeout would be used, and that means you would also use a function

window.open or something you would use, then the other stuff, I think

that seems to work fine, but it only refreeshes the page once, and then never again. ? how do i fix this, ?

@khalidali63Dec 30.2002 — did u think of using meta tag for refresh,

I found it the most efficient and Browser independent.

write this line in your html pages head section

<meta http-equiv="Refresh"

content="5">

And then write the following call in your onload function of javascript code block

location.href = "#bottom";


It will work

Cheers

[B]that seems to work fine, but it only refreeshes the page once, and then never again. ? how do i fix this, ? [/B][/QUOTE][font=georgia]That's more than a little odd. For some reason your page must not be fully loading the second time or you have some other script that's throwing an error. Here's another, JavaScript free and therefore much better, method[/font]

[font=monospace]

<meta http-uquiv="Refresh" content="300;URL=[i]thisURL.html[/i]#bottom">

[/font]

@ThaSpYauthorDec 30.2002 — That was my original approach. It refreshed fine, but after the second refresh, it would not read the #bottom, therefore refreshing to the top of the page again.

sorry, i never saw your post. do u mean after i put the meta tag in, write:

<script language="javasript">

location.href = "#bottom";

</script>

that doesnt look right, what did u mean?

it is attached as a text file.

Save it as html file and take a look

@jdaviaDec 30.2002 — This works even in older browsers

<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="1;URL=YOURPAGE.html#bottom">

No need for any other code at the bottom of the page to make it open there.
