Page refresh @ midnight

[SPeedY_B]

I have a PHP based calender which is composed of tables and the current date/day has a different bgcolor, now this calender obviously highlights the date upon load, but i have recently added it to active desktop and as my computer is always on, i need some way to refresh the page at midnight, is there any way i can do this ???

<META HTTP-EQUIV="refresh" content = "3600; URL=c:\Program Files\madmatt\Active Desktop\calendar.php">

That refreshes every 60 minutes. Using that tag there isn't a way to make it refresh at a certain time, just an interval. When I put my calendar together I couldn't think of a way to make it update at midnight every day without writing 20+ lines of code. Sorry. =\

write a simple little program that would refresh the HTML for you, and add it to task manager. *shrug*

i went for the meta tag in the end, nice 1.5hr timer

Altho i noticed on active desktop that the page it set to "Make Available Offline" and there's a schedule for that, surely adding a daily schedule to Syncronise the page would update it / the calender?

Call TimerTicks from the OS

I never even thought of that. Good call.
