Is there anyone out there who can solve this situation please. A software that will allow you to cycle web pages automatically.

Currently we use PPT to display slides over and over on several monitors connected to one PC. The content is manually updated once per day and has information such as yesterday's closing stock price, the weather for the day, etc. The details aren't important. What's important is that the information we want to display is available on the web in real (or near real) time. So, what we'd like to do is find a software application that will cycle through a list of web pages automatically. (Kind of like when a web page is moved, the note says that you will be automatically moved after 3 seconds).

It might only take a bit of HTML programming to create such an app. At the bottom of each page you could have script that moves the page automatically to the next page. Then we've got total control over what content we display and it can be updated in real-time from the web.

I'm not entirely sure myself... I knew at one time, but forgot since http://www.sysopt.com/forum/frown.gif. I know it's a meta tag in the HTML, though. The one place I used it was to do a redirect to a page I no longer have on my personal webpage. Head over to http://www.buffnet.net/~kg2oy/sports.html and click stop before it redirects you. Then feel free to view the source and use the lines you need.

Hope this helps!

Recently set up a demo for someone over on the Nowonder board that
cycles through 10 Banner Ads. The same principle could easily be
adapted for your requirements. Here's a link containing my response:
