HTML QUESTION

Ok, the following sites have webcams in SF:

I would like to make my own page, with all the webcam feeds combined on it.

Is it possible?
If yes, could some gurus quide me through it?

I'm using Frontpage 2002.

Thanks in advance!
CM.

yes it is possible

first you need a function which reloads these pics, without reloading the page!!

then you make a link to these pics (normally the pic name is always the same, so i think it's no problem)

i never worked with Front page but i think it's possible.

BTW good idea!!

Ok, so how do I do it ?

Creatures · October 1st, 2002, 01:57 PM

first attach the pic (example: http://www.pedropoint.com/pacificacam/Best_1.JPG ) to your site like this:
HTML source:

<img src=http://www.pedropoint.com/pacificacam/Best_1.JPG width=250 height=188 border=0 alt="Five-day forecast"></a>

BTW this forum is a good webcam, becaus every time you reload this page it's gonna reload the webcam pic

edit: you're right

but i forgot the rest

wait perhaps i gonna find it somewhere)

Thanks Creatures, but remember that direct linking to other sites is not encouraged at techimo, so its better to just have a link. Before the mods change it

to refresh it, put this tag in the < head > section

Code:

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="60">

change the '60' to how often (in seconds) you want it to refresh.

ciao!

Edit: Oops, I read Creatures comment "first you need a function which reloads these pics, without reloading the page!!" and thought it was yours saying you wanted to refresh the page every so often. Well... If you want to reload the page, the above meta tag will do it. As for code to just reload the pictures, imo, why bother when a one line tag will do it whenever it refreshes the whole page...

Edit # 2: (doh...

) May also want to try to stop browsers from caching with

Code:

<meta http-equiv="pragma" content="no-cache">

but from the reading I've done, apparently it doesn't work to well...

Thanks for the help! Keep it coming please

Why would I want to stop the browser from caching?

Thanks!

if the pic is in the cache, so if you reload it tooks the pic from the cache and not that one from the server!!

Creatures

BTW thatnks ^hyd^ i forget that with the cache

ClubMed · October 2nd, 2002, 08:14 AM

Creatures · October 2nd, 2002, 08:55 AM

in the <HEAD>
