We have five tv's in our office displaying a local web page written in .net. This web page can be updated by three managers at any time of the day to tell staff about events.
the problem is the page doesn't refresh - i can go in remotely and hit f5 which wouldn't be a big deal but the page is updated about 4 to 6 times an hour.
what i really want is either a command line script or batch file that refreshes ie and sits on the pc that displays the web page - then i can add a shortcut to it on the managers computers and after they've updated they can click on that.
Is there either a command line to refresh ie or a batch file? or even a command line that fires f5 as a keypress?
How about building in a Refresh to the webpage if it's under your control? E.g. Every minute with
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="60">
Yep, I'd definitely go autoit:
#include <IE.au3>
while (true)
$oIE = _IEAttach("sample.html", "URL")
_IEAction($oIE, "refresh")
Sleep(60 * 1000) ;sleep for an hour
WEnd
You can compile the script to a standalone exe too

This is my extremely basic batch file. The issue is that it can be ran 20 different times on one button click, and I want it to create 20 tabs in IE. This currently creates 20 different IE windows. Any help would be great.
Each run would have a different parameter for my php page.
If you try to set the IE browser as a default browser then with the use of the following code you can open the tab in the existing instance of the IE browser.
#echo off
start /d "" www.microsoft.com

Hi I'm trying to make an offline version of this page:
https://u-he.com/tools/microtuning/ the script is writtin with Angular JS how do I do that?
I saved the page control-s and copied the file to the local server I'm running.
And then I browsed the local ip. the page opened but I get repeated notes ng-repeat shows up as multiple boxes instead of 1 box that edits the same note but in different octaves.
How do I solve this problem please.
You can inspect the front-end code in your browser console. In Firefox it's in the section called "Debugger", in Chrome it's called "Sources". If you use Safari, you need to enable Developer mode first.
Once you have the appropriate view, just click on u-he.com -> tools/microtuning/ -> index
Hopefully it goes without saying that you shouldn't use large swaths of another person's code without at least giving appropriate credit, or better yet getting the developer's permission, unless there is an explicit open-source license.
First, I apologize that I don't fully understand what's going on here. I am new to AngularJS and I am building an app that I am running on localhost:3000. I make changes to my files, and I refresh the localhost:3000 page.
But after a few times of doing this, my changes do not get passed to the server.
Upon inspecting the developer tools, I see that it is using an older version of the file that I have overwritten with new code. No matter how many times I refresh the page, the changes do not get passed to the server.
If I come back after a few hours, it gets all the changes like it should. But only the first time, because every time after that I have the same problem.
I've tried restarting the http-server, I've tried closing and opening the editor, closing and opening the tab, restarting my computer, but none of these fixes the problem permanently.
If you need any more information, I'll edit it into this question. Thanks!
Try clearing your browser cache
Either
ctrl + f5
or
Right click on refresh button and choose the last option (hard reload)
(only in chrome, I guess)
That's almost certainly a caching issue.
You need to look at the network traffic when the page is downloading.
How you do that will depend on the browser you use, but try pressing F12 for a start
Check the RESPONSE headers for anything "cache"
Also check for a Status code of 304 - "Not Modified"
That might reveal to you instructions from the server to the browser to cache the file for a few hours, or that the browser is being told the copy it has is up to date.
Alternatively it might be server side caching, in which case I can't help you much.
One other solution is to change the file reference to include the date modified as a query string.
e.g.
instead of
src="/scripts/myscript.js"
use
src="/scripts/myscript.js?dt={filemodifieddateformyscripts.js}"
I am writing a automation script using selenium web driver for downloading multiple files one by one from a web site in Mozilla fire fox. I have downloaded first file successfully and next time I need to wait for download to complete. Can anybody help how to identify an ongoing download is completed using c# selenium web driver.? Since I am not getting the download complete status, I am unable to continue downloading next file.
Assuming you are testing file downloading in Firefox as you mentioned. Here is an approach to achieve what you want.
Open new window/tab in Firefox and navigate to 'about:downloads' directly.
i.e. driver.Navigate().GoToUrl("about:downloads");
You will get the list of downloads (i.e. already downloaded files and the file which is being downloaded currently.)
You will have to switch between your site tab and downloads tab.
Now on downloads tab, looking at HTML, you can easily find out in progress download using state or status attributes.
For example, for the first file in the list, if state="0" and/or status
contains the text 'remaining', it means downloading is in progress
So you can wait till state becomes state = 1 and/or status does not contain >the text 'remaining'
Refer the attached screen shot.
The explanation I gave here looks very high level, but I am sure this approach will work. It is simple too.
Let me know if you have any queries on this.
I have a GAE module on IntelliJ and when I after I edit the jsp files in it I can just go to the web browser, hit refresh and the changes show up. The other day I needed to access this from a different computer so I added --address=0.0.0.0 to the server parameters and after that changes to the jsp stopped showing up on the browser until I did a server restart. I removed the option and it started working again. Added it again and it stopped working, repeated several times, always the same result.
So how I can access the server from another computer yet have the ability to make changes and have those changes show up on the web browser without a server restart?
I am using an exploded war, and I have "update classes and resources" on both "on update" and "on frame deactivation".
This is with IntelliJ 13 on OSX 10.9
Thanks.
There are two ways to make iDEA update the runtime project:
Automatic via on frame deactivation, which means that IDEA updates project when you switch to another app (usually browser), i.e. when IDEA looses window focus. This works "automagically" while you test on the same computer, because you usually switch between IDEA and browser (or mobile emulator).
Manually via on update, which requires you to manually click the update button (the green circular arrows) in IDEA inside the running project pane.
