HTML files:

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="[ext] 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

[ext] http://www.mozilla.org/support/firefox/edit#content) with those lines:

 @-moz-document url([ext] http://www.dragongoserver.net/status.php)
 {
 #user_status {
 display: none !important;
 }
 }
