Hello:

Just wondering if it's possible to schedule a web page to change on a certain date or at a certain time.

Example: Let's say I had a personal web site and on one of the pages I was, on my contact page, posting my personal phone number between the hours of 2pm and 6pm on Friday the 13th of June. Is it possible to schedule the phone number to display only during that four-hour window on that particular day?

Any and all information will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Magus

I found a fix. I know there is a way to scedule the changes as I mentioned before, but I'm not sure how to write the code. For now, I made a batch file that transfers a new version of the page and a second batch file that transfers the original version of the page. Then, I used Windows Task Scheduler to schedule the batch files to run. The first batch file runs at the starting time for the update and pushes the new verson of the web page out. Later, at the ending time, the second batch file is scheduled to run. It replaces the new web pag code with the original.

Not exactly the best way to get this done, but it works. Tested OK.

Thanks,

Magus

Javascript should be able to handle this. Google for some good javascript resources, they usually have loads of free scripts.
Although on second thought, you want it to be YOUR time and not the time of your visitor who might be in a different time zone.
In that case it gets a bit more complicated.
