    Is there anything that can do this?

    I have a couple of WebPages I like to have displayed at all times, the issue is that I have to keep switching between them manually.

    Is there a FF plug in that, after a set time, will open a web page then again after a set time go back to the first page and keep doing that indefinitely?

    It would be really easy (if i could remember the syntax) to put together a small HTML file with an iFrame and a little JavaScript to load the pages you want into the iFrame on a timer.

    or you could get the js code to change it based on whatever page is loaded. No need for a iframe if you don't know how to do it. I'm sure there's ready available code.

    Give us a list of the pages and times I'll try and make one if you want.

    You could do this easily with a free "macro" maker.

    Like this one:

    There is also a FireFox plugin that can load up entire sets of tabs and it remembers their exact state etc.. It's called "Session Manager". I recommend it to everyone.

    Yeah no probs. Here's what I got so far. I stopped halfway cos it was bedtime!

    Code:
    // JavaScript Document
    var timer=5 //Seconds to show the page.
    var pagelist='page1.htm,page2.htm,page3.htm'
    var page=pagelist.split(',');
    var pages=page.length;
    var x=0;
    
    start();
    setInterval('start()', timer*1000);
    
    
    function start() {
    	document.getElementByName("frame").src=page[x];
    	x++;
    }
    Still trying to make that iframe change. I'll post up the fully working code when I got it
