Full Version: Program Help
Does anyone know how to make a program that refreshes the IE explorer page over and over again for a set amount of time? Plese, just make the program simple.
It's the simplest thing in the world, but stop cheating. 
What do you mean cheating? I'm not cheating!
settimeout(10000) {settimeout(1000){document.reload();}}
This is untested, but in theory it should refresh the page once per second for 10 seconds...

So how do I do it for, like, 2 hours? And where do I type that in? Sorry, not too good at programing. 
Or you could make something that would send http requests from command line... DUM DUM DUM..
Don't cheat on the sig views, if that's what you're planning to do.

I really don't care about the sig views. This is for a different website, that you probably don't care about. Just how do I do it?
Ok, fine. Here's one written in a computer language called "English" for the Human OS.
Make sure that either the native language is English, or that an English interpreter is installed.

CODE
1. Get a flat narrow object. Assign this object the name "Steve."
2. Go to the webpage you want to refresh over and over.
3. Press and hold the "F5" key.
4. Insert Steve under the "4" and "5" key so that it covers the "F5" key.
5. Make sure that Steve is holding the "F5" key down.
6. Leave and go do something.

Right, I need a program that refreshes the page once every 10 seconds. How do I make one?
Right. Kudos to Genesis for thinking of using scripting. That hadn't occurred to me and writing a full program would take significantly longer.
Failed attempt. It turns out that all intervals are cleared when a page is reloaded. I will try again, with the use of frames.

That will only work in Firefox, Mynck.
Also, don't use Internet explorer for that purpose -- That has a memory leak which will eventually eat up your ram while refreshing (seriously, look in task manager->Processes and refresh a page for a while if you don't believe me)

Who needs Internet Explorer anyways?

That's why I was saying that.
Can't I just clear my ram?
The RAM contains important information. Messing with some other application's memory would probably cause some error somewhere.

That was SpaceDude. My post was more along the lines of a .Bat file, which is also prettah easy.
Firefox has a memory leak as well

I tested it for about a half-hour on the Microsoft website, and it started at around 52,000 K, managed to get up to about 61,000 K, but then went back down to 53,000 K.

Oh sorry.
No prob, no offense either. I was just saying.
The memory leak must be patched up in the newer versions.
