i sell a lot on ebay and leave my computer on the selling page and check the
prices on my main tv that is link to the pc....so i need a way to make the
web page refresh when i am not in front of the computer?.
i found somthing about html but i dont know how to do this.

Hi lee :-)

Try the following and see if it helps:

he Auto-Refresh feature makes the browser refresh its contents at specified
intervals. To enable Auto-Refresh and set the refresh interval, click on the
down arrow immediately to the right of the Refresh button and select Refresh
Every... from the dropdown menu.

Hope this helps

Hi Jan,

How do you get Auto-Refresh? I clicked the link and there is nothing
in Downloads, or Order Now that mention it. I have a couple of places
that I go to and if they are idle more than 5 minutes, I have to log
back on. Annoying.

How's things back East?

Huh? I just copy pasted the link form here to the Address bar, and it
brings up the site with the instructions and a picture of how to do it.
There is nothing to download, or order. The instructions I listed here were
on the site. Strange.....try this site
http://www.winferno.com/help/SecureI...web_pages.aspx
As the other, it shows the same instuctions I posted, and the picture of how
to set the time interval for the auto-refresh. If you still can't get see
it post back and let me know. BTW...I'm in XP SP2.

There's also:

Tools>Options->Security>Check the "Allow "META REFRESH"
Other wise the META tag is used by the site to refresh the page.

Cal. transplant, it's taking a bit of getting used to. I'm still not
allowed on the streets in the snow without my snow shoes. <g>

I'm XP/SP2 also. Meta Refresh is enabled. Am I supposed to already
have a Drop-down arrow by my Refresh icon in IE? I don't.

Me either! Not even in my W2K program. <g> Well.....it appears that the
site is a program that will do that....and I overlooked that fact.

Thanks for bringing it to my my attention, I really appreciate it. :-)

My apologies to the OP for the mis-information. But, I'd say Hanri's
information is good. <g>

IE doesn't have the capability to do this by itself - you'll need a helper
app. Here are a few for you to try:

Browser Refresher http://www.sfu.ca/~vwchu/browserrefresher.html
BrowseFresh http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,4149,12254,00.asp - requires
subscription
Ifocus http://tucows.mundofree.com/files3/ifocus.exe
AutoRefresher for IE

Auto URL Refresher http://www.autourlrefresher.com/
