Client Pull
Client Pull provides the ability to automatically load a new document in the specified time or
reload a document on a regular basis.
Microsoft ® Internet Explorer 3.0 supports client pull using the META tag. The META
tag must be inside the HEAD tag of the HTML document. The URL attribute
requires a fully qualified URL (for example, http://www.sample.com/reload.htm).
| Attribute | Explanation | Example | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| HTTP-EQUIV= "REFRESH" | Causes a document to be automatically reloaded on a regular basis, specified in seconds. | <HEAD><META HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" CONTENT=2><TITLE>Reload Document</TITLE></HEAD> <BODY> <P>This document will be reloaded every two seconds.</BODY> |
Netscape |
| CONTENT="n; URL=URL" | Tells the browser to reload in n seconds. If a URL is specified, the browser will load the URL after the time specified has elapsed. If no URL is specified, it will reload the current document. | <HEAD><META HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" CONTENT="5; URL=http://www.sample.com/next.htm"> <TITLE>Load Next Document</TITLE></HEAD> <BODY> <P>After five seconds have elapsed, the document "http://www.sample.com/next.htm" will be loaded.</BODY> |
