Programming Web Crawling Bots, Intelligent Agents - Automated Refresh


Expert: Marcus P. Zillman, M.S., A.M.H.A. - 10/2/2009

Question
Hi Marcus,  I regularly use a web site to search for per diem jobs. I have to repeatedly use a mouse to click on the word, SEARCH, which is located on this page, in order to refresh the page for the latest listings. Is there a way to refresh this page at a specified time interval, in order to avoid constantly clicking the mouse button?  Thanks, George

Answer
Hello George ....

Thanks for the eMail and question ....

Normally a site will push out a refreshed page like the Wall Street Journal site does every minute or so to keep you updated. I would think that you could create a macro that would allow you to automatically click on the "search" word to refresh the site without you needing to manually do so. I would recommend that you visit the following site to find a script based upon your operating system and browser to accomplish your purpose

Hope this will guide you in the positive direction to accomplish your mission ....

eCheers

Marcus
