Pausing a refresh command?

W

wfcook

I have a web page that appears when a members name is
clicked.

I have it set to refresh, with this line:

<meta http-equiv="refresh"
content="3;URL=http://home.houston.rr.com/wfcook/Members.ht
m">

Which, should be enought time to view the members picture.

However, If someone would like the page to stay open
longer, is there way to pause the refresh command?

Before the "page exit" transistion takes place, with:

<meta http-equiv="Page-Exit" content="revealTrans
(Duration=5.0,Transition=2)">

Sorry no.

Instead of the meta refresh use a JavaScript to control the refresh and use a button to delete the setTimeout handle.

function newPage(URL) {

window.location = URL;
}

In the body tag

onload="mypageTimer = window.setTimeout(newPage('mypage.htm') 60000 * 3);

Then an anchor tag with

onclick="clearTimeout(mypageTimer); return false;"

I can't imagine why you'd want to do this (perhaps a game
of concentration?) but here's a simple example:

<html>
<head>
<title>Auto-return</title>
<script>
function clickAutoRtn(){
if (document.forms[0].chkAutoRtn.checked){
setAutoRtn();
}else{
window.clearTimeout(iTimerID);
}
}
function setAutoRtn(){
iTimerID = window.setTimeout(
"document.location.href='/wfcook/Members.htm'", 3000);
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload="setAutoRtn();">
<form method="POST" >
<p><input type="checkbox" checked name="chkAutoRtn"
value="ON" onclick="clickAutoRtn();">Auto-return</p>
</form>
</body>
</html>
