Re: Generating a continuously updating page with Oracle Web Server
Date: 1996/09/22
Message-ID: <3244b39f.1675028_at_dcsun4>#1/1
For a fixed frequency, I would use the META tag, for example:
HTML>
<HEAD> <META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="1;URL=http://host/ows-bin/owa/proc?x=5"> <TITLE>Bounce</TITLE> </HEAD>
Would pull the page /ows-bin/owa/proc?x=5 in 1 second (client side pull). If proc put out the same meta tag, proc would call proc in 1 second. User can stop this by hitting the stop button. Put this page in a frame and you can have part of a screen refresh independently of other parts.
