Hi,
In one of my application, we need to display status of electronic
controllers in a web page.
The status of the controllers keep varying and the varied status has to be
displayed in the web page.
In other words, there should be dynamic updation of the web pages and the
web page has to be viewed from different pc’s by giving the IP address.
I’ve tried with static web page using Slinger.
Can anyone suggest how to proceed using Slinger with Server Side Includes
(SSI) commands for dynamic updation. Or anyother server like Apache or PHP
engines can be used for this purpose.
Bye.
With Regards,

If you want truly “dynamic” updates then probably your only real choice is
to use something like a Java applet on the client PC side.
If you just want the web pages to update (refresh) periodically, then you
can use some very simple Javascript. The code below will cause the page to
auto-reload every 5 seconds.
There are other methods that are supposed to work (like specifying a
meta-refresh value or keeping the connection open continously) but we have
found this JavaScript approach is the most reliable and universal with
different browsers.
