Refresh(?)

[John]

Hi:

On a small web site I am looking after (http://www.myjourney.ca/weather.shtml)
I have a small "weather panel"
(<a href="http://www.wunderground.com/global/stations/71368.html">
<img
src="http://banners.wunderground.com/banner/gizmotimetemp_both/language/www/global/stations/71368.gif")

However, the time (and temparature also, I imagine) stays at what it was when
the page was first opened.

Is there a script or command I can insert so that this link will be refreshed
every one minute or so?

I have googled "refresh" and found several examples of refreshing a whole page,
but not just a linked image in a page.

Thanks!

you can do it if you use frames but......
I bet you don't like frames either?

Refreshing just part of the page will involve frames or JavaScript (AJAX,
for example, is about refreshing parts of the page without a complete
reload). Considering the fact that both are a bloat and quite unnecessary,
I suggest you use metatags to refresh the entire page.

Wunderground used to embed the text in the image so I could snatch it but
they now (starting last month) display text on top of a background that
represents the current conditions. Have you found a workaround?

Use an iframe, to include in a page that does the refresh.

Thanks for that information, Joe

What else don't I like?

Roy: After the information given to me here, I'm considering to just leave
things as they are. After all, how important is it really what I was trying to
do?

I'm afraid my knowledge of all this is so limited I don't really understand what
you are asking.
I have not sseen any difference in the way this is shown on my site.

Thanks for your input!

As I responded to Roy:

do?"

I really don't want to get into frames.
Thanks again!

Probably not very. At most, I would suggest you add something like this:

<p>Refresh the page for the latest weather conditions.</p>

but I'm sure most of your visitors could work that out for themselves
anyway, particularly since the time doesn't change.

people who monkey with other monkeys?
I've been framed!

*I* didn't say that I don't like people who monkey with other monkeys.
However, there's a story (I don't think it is scientifically proven) that the
first appearance of AIDS in humans came as as result of "people monkeying with a
monkey"

I merely said that "A *wise* monkey is a monkey who doesn't monkey
with an other monkey's monkey."
And I'll stand by that . . .
