Dear All, I have a live streaming channel display in the site, and i wanted to announce live braodcast to the users by refreshing the page when live broadcast starts. So i made a module that has only a text saying live braodcast is here, and in that module (which is hidden unless at time of livestreaming) i added a javascript that refreshes the page using this code: setTimeout("location.reload(true);",10000000); just to be able lto refresh the page once, till the live braodcast finishes then i make the module hidden again so i guarantee with the very big time value that it is only refreshed once. However, nothing happens at all, if i am opening the site already i have to press F5 to get that text and see the module visible.. My quesiotn is, how do i push the page through the open sites in browsers already so that users know there is boradcast now without them pressing F5 every few seconds please? Thanks alot

Because of the way that web pages work, you cannot "push" a page to users.

You will need to have something on the page that periodically asks the server if it is time to refresh. I seems to me that you are already part of the way there with the timer event. When the timer expires, you can have it ask the server if it is time to do something and then do it. If you reset the timer, it will ask again, and then again, etc.

Hello Joe,
Thanks for your reply...do i understand then that the code i wrote which refreshes the page once every say a whole day, soudl work? becuase it doesn't!

You see, i need those who have the site already open to get a notification somehow that the live streaming has started without them pressing F5...do you have any other ideas plz?

Thanks alot...i appreciate your response...
Best Regards
