Auto Site Sliding

Hey All,

I use my web app on the wall as a dashboard type scenario. One thing that would look great would be to automatically move between pages on my site (and maybe others) after a certain time. For example, you setup page x for 2 mins, then page y for 2 mins then page z for 4 mins. Now, I can do this easily inside my existing website. However, I would like to be able to switch to other sites with login where required. So basically a website of its own that just diverts according to a script. Has anyone seen anything like this on the market or have concepts similar?

Note, my webspages are ajax-ified so any timers would not be allowed to interupt updated.

Chiz!

Hey,

Nothing immediately springs to might from a raw ASP.Net, Web Page scenario.

However, I could see how this could be accomplished using a Windows Forms Application, which includes a Web Browser. Here you could do all the work of bringing up the next web page in line, along with providing any username/password combination to access the site.

You can do it in power point with an add-on, but its not great and leaks memory like a sieve. I'll keep the idea in mind ;).

You could probably do something "hacky" with one page that has an iFrame in it, but it wouldn't be pretty.

I ended up writing an external application to slide through the websites I needed, but I did not get a solution for sliding inside a webapp. Never mind!

Hello,

Sorry to hear that you did not find a solution. It is a tricky requirement though.
