Rotating page content

perhaps using frames and javascript?

I'm trying to set up a page that will cycle through several html documents, displaying each one for about 10 seconds. I was thinking that the easiest way to do this would be to use a frameset with javascript that changes the src of the frame. I'm haven't had much experience with javascript, so any suggestions would be appreciated.

I think I got it!

Here's the code I came up with:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Frameset//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/frameset.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title>Rotating Pages</title>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">

var prefix = 'rotate';
var currentPage = 0;
var totalPages = 3;
var lullTime = 10000;
</script>

</head>

</html>

you might also want to load all the pages first, then, use the onLoad event to check to make sure all the frames are loaded, then start the cycle, so the browser can show them quick as lightning. :-)

The timer will vary based on the speed of the processor viewing it.

If it's not an indexed page, you can just use an http-refresh:

Not recommended for main pages as search engines apparently don't like a lot of redirection.
