Displaying html file from domino directory to form or page

HCL Domino Domino Forum

Background: I have software that generates an html file containing election results every so many minutes. The html file will be regenerated everytime new results are posted. I will have a process that moves the file from the election pc to the domino data directory every so many minutes, replacing the previous html file.

I need a method of displaying this html file and would prefer that the file be displayed inline on a page or form rather than a link to display the file so that static information can be added around the html file explaining to the public things they need to know about the process.

I am not proficient in writing javascript or lotusscript. Does anyone know of a good method for automating this process that will allow for refresh either by the public clicking a button to refresh the display of the file on the page or form in the browser or some code in the background that refreshes when it detects a newer version of the file.

Thanks so much for your help!!!

I ended up using iframe for this and had a refresh button with javascript behind it. Works great!

Thanks for your help.

Subject: use meta refresh

In your HEAD section you can have something like this:

this will cause the page to refresh every 300 seconds

Thanks for the suggestion … but it doesn’t seem to be helping. I placed the code you suggested at the top of my page and passed through as html… still have issues with getting latest data to display.

Any other suggestions out there??
