I want to load a list of URLs into a frame, each one appearing in that frame for x seconds, then the next loading. Is this possible?

It may be possible... if I understood your question....

OK. Imagine a web "site", built from two frames; one is static, but the other loads a series of URLs into it; each URL loads and stays in the frame for 20 seconds, then the next URL loads. Possible?

Certainly... In the frame that is not chaging, at this code:

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">

seconds = "20"; //number of seconds before frame changes

function pageOne()
{
setTimeout("pageTwo()", seconds * 1000);
}
function pageTwo()
{
top.framename.location.href = "http://www.w3c.org"; //set framname to the name of your frame
setTimeout("pageThree()", seconds * 1000);
}
function pageTwo()
{
top.framename.location.href = "http://www.google.com"; //set framname to the name of your frame
}
</script>

</head>
<body onload="pageOne();">

...do I have to add more of these:

setTimeout("pageThree()", seconds * 1000);

to repeat further pages?


erm.. the reason I write that is because in your example only the google URL loads...

(the script's in the head tag, right?)


ah - the second pageTwo() should be pageThree(), ?

No... still the third page doesn't load... what have I done wrong? I was also kinda thinking of it looping back to the first URL after so many were displayed - is this possible?

Thanks!!!

Got it working! You're a total genius! Thanks!

Is there a way of making this loop back to the first URL, and so on, forever?

...like a slideshow of websites in the frame, going eventually back to the first one?

You are a total genius! That's exactly what I wanted. Many thanks!!!
