Is it possible within WXD to define an html script that automatically loads a sequence of webpages similar to a slide show? I am looking to have a sequence of web pages continuously playing on an office monitor.:)

Wouldn't redirects with new windows opening do the trick?Quote:

Sure, why not.Quote:

</script>
The '5000' is a delay in 1/1000's of second. So 5000 is 5 seconds.
One option is to embed the following in the <head> section of each page:
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="5; URL=page-to-go-to.html">
Modify for each page. See here:

Excellent: Thanks Covoxer. Can I assume I can add multiple references in the placeholder? e.gQuote:

setTimeout("window.open('page4.htm', '_self')", 5000);
......
also is it possible to then loop?
I doubt it.
Wouldn't that just cause all three pages to open together in 5 seconds??
so a place holder at the top of each relevent page calling the next page is the way to go?
Yes :)
