Auto Refresh

[ToolManTimTaylor]

Anyone have an auto refreshing program for I. E that they are using?

 

[lschultz]

Huh?

 

[ToolManTimTaylor]

Auto refresh = a program that will refresh the internet browser at a user set time limit so the page you are viewing stays current.

Visual Test could do that really easily.....



I could write the test code if you want...

I like your idea

F5...

 

[ToolManTimTaylor]

Matt that would be sweet! Yeah F5 works but you need a machine to press the F5 key when you are away from the Pc.

I wrote a script...



It will work if you make it refresh the page about once every minute. Since I'm a nice guy... I tried to extend the amount of time it 'sleeps' out to about 6 minutes. I haven't been able to make it work.



I didn't want to whack the web server for updates every 10 seconds... no matter how little the potential traffic could be.



The better solution would be to allow people to remain logged into the site longer than the default timeout. For sites like the TDR, it's not like we're sharing DoD or proprietary information and could easily see somebody allowing the timeout to be a bit longer... . if not indefinite. I'm no web/database expert... but there must be a rhyme to the reason in this case... .
