HTML to display data on plasma screen

We have at work a PC that acts as a server with a plasma screen acting as the monitor to display information.

There is a pre built HTML page that displays only one type of data. I would like to create some other pages and some how rotate them. not sure how but thats where this thread comes into play. Im hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction.

Im not experianced at creating html pages that pull data from other sources but can in excel. May be there would be a way t use excel to pull the data from the page that already updates the original data page (the original data page will have to stay as html as i dont know where that data comes from).

very vauge i know but maybe someone can help

HTML can pull information from text files, but that is about the limit without some sort of scripting. You could however use meta tags to load a new page every x seconds

Re: HTML to display data on plasma screen

What source would you be pulling the data from? And what kind of rotation are you after??

Re: HTML to display data on plasma screen

the data would be pulled from an access database which links to a server. As i said the original html page cannot be touched as this is supported by another source.

Maybe there would be a way to do it using a batch file to open and then rotate the html pages by giving focus?

Thinking about it access could provide the tool to give focus whilst outputting the data to a text file every few minutes to use the mega tsag idea

does this sound vesibile?

Re: HTML to display data on plasma screen

You're going to need some kind of script to do most of that - I've never come accross anything in Access with facilities like that... are you familiar with any languages?

Re: HTML to display data on plasma screen

I don't understand what you're trying to do very well, but it sounds like something that can't be done.

Re: HTML to display data on plasma screen

Perhaps if you used something like a java applet, but it would be a extreamly huge project.
