HOW TO: Use Client Pull in FrontPage 2000 Web Documents
This article was previously published under Q196471
You can use client pull to set up a timed refresh period for your Web
pages. When you use client pull, you can specify whether to automatically
update the page or whether to proceed to another page after the specified
time-out period has expired.
To implement client pull, type a special META element in the header of a
Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) document. META elements are used within
the header to embed document meta information that is not defined by other
HTML elements. Client pull requires the use of the META element "HTTP-
EQUIV" to implement the update. This element is then returned in the
Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) response header.
Adding a META Tag to the Header of Your HTML Page
- Open your page in Page view.
- On the File menu, click Properties, and then click the Custom tab.
- In the System Variables (HTTP-EQUIV) section, click Add.
- In the Name box, type refresh.
- In the Value box, type the value you want to use for seconds. For
example, type 30.
- Click OK.
- Click OK again.
The following code is added to the header of your page:
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="30">
To create a link to another page, repeat the steps above, but in step 5,
type the number of seconds to wait before refreshing, a semi colon and
a space, followed by "URL=newpage.htm" (without the quotation marks). For
example, your meta value that refreshes the Newpage.htm document in five
seconds should look like the following:
This technique is especially useful when you want to create a slide show
effect with your Web pages.

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
