here's a page that implements it.

Peter Nicell has very simple way to create a HTML page that periodically refreshes a DGS page.
TDerz All of this is very impressive. The snafu-link allows us to verify the club rating (also it's not in the club). A slight improvement of Peter Nicell's way by Stéphane Macaire: "./" before dgsr.html (DragonGoServer auto-refresh) refers to the same folder, hence no address change is necessary and 10 seconds refreshment rate were to short on our computer at work (tried here with 3 minutes):
<HTML> <HEAD> <meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="180; url=./dgsr.htm"> <title>Dragon Go Server auto refresh</title> </HEAD>
<frameset cols="*,1" framespacing="0" border="0" frameborder="NO"> <frameset rows="*,1" framespacing="0" border="0" frameborder="NO"> <frame src="http://www.dragongoserver.net/status.php" name="main"> </frameset> </frameset>
<noframes> <body> Sorry your browser does not support frames... </body> </noframes>
</HTML>
However, this refreshment page stops refreshing after some time (90 seconds): "The page cannot be displayed" perhaps due to Network Settings.
- (Firefox 1.5+:) To remove the status box: (thx Rod) Use the userContent.css (you can find infos at
http://www.mozilla.org/support/firefox/edit#content) with those lines:
@-moz-document url(http://www.dragongoserver.net/status.php) { #user_status { display: none !important; } }
