's Computer Specifications

Greetings:

I added a webpage i devleoped to my desktop through the display
properties>customize desktop>web. On my webpage i have a clock that will
remain on the same time until i right click on the web area on the desktop
and click refresh. Is there anyway that the webpage can be updated
continuously to always show the accurate time?

Hello,

Why not use JavaScript's setInterval or setTimeout method in the page to
update the time automatically?

Simple HTML:

<head>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="5">
</head>

content = seconds between refreshes

Hello,

Meta Refresh as the other poster mentions should be simple for you
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meta_refresh

JavaScript's method may be complicated for you but would only modify the
part of the page you want to update, that is, if the page can be updated
without calling the hosting server. If the server needs to be asked for
updated information, you can use AJAX techniques to get the latest data from
the server.

I was about to suggest that. In fact, the interval could be as short a
1 (second) as long as it's not a busy non-static page which it pretty
surely is considering the question.

OP: That's only one of many meta-tags available to you if you care to do
a little research at wc3 schools.com an excellent learning/reference
site. Or is it w3c? lol, if one doesn't work, try the other!
