Re: Switch between two web pages

Hi,

Anyone aware of a way to switch between two web pages while still
allowing each page to run in the background? ie. I have one web page
that auto refreshes every 60 seconds, and another one that also auto
refreshes every 60 seconds.

What i want to be able to do is to switch back and forth between these
two pages every 5 mins, while still allowing each page to run (refresh)
individually in the background.

Each individual page is collecting statistics and databasing them so
both need to run every 60 seconds, therefore a simple redirect of the
same browser would not allow this to happen.

Thanks in advance.

Hey Daniel,

So this process you are describing "auto refreshes" isn't dependent on
PHP but is client-side? I'm just guessing here that maybe you are
using something like META Refresh? I've done something similar some
years back and it was as you describe, multiple pages involved, and the
way I did it was to use frames. Normally I hate frames, but for this
it kind of did the trick. Note that you can run a "frame" in a browser
but have it hidden if need be.

Of course I'm assuming a lot here, but if you are dependent on client
behavior for this, then you have to beware that some clients won't
behave.

Thanks,

Chuck
