Re: auto update

It just so happens that I'm in the middle of writing something similar in
PHP. If you have PHP on your intranet mybe you can have the code when I
finish.

Subject: auto update


| hi, all...  i'm looking for the best way to do this, so hopefully y'all
will
| have some ideas.
|
| on the intranet here at work, we have a "question of the week" thing where
| we ask a question and give four choices and people get to guess.  kind of
a
| fun thing to get them coming to our page.  then we show how many people
have
| guessed each of the four choices by manually updating the page once or
twice
| a day.  kind of archaic, no?
|
| what i'd like to do is to automate this update thing.  i've tried using a
| java applet but because of server problems, directory permission problems,
| and browser security settings, i've run into some trouble with this
option.
| i'm willing to push forward and get this working with java, but am
thinking
| there has to be an easier way -- probably with a perl script or something
| along those lines?
|
| so, long story short, how would you tackle this?  advise me, wise ones...
|
| thanks in advance,
| -rebecca
