Auto Page Refresher WIDGET

Can anybody make a widget which refreshes an opened webpage automatically after certain intervals (intervals which the user can set).

I want a widget which functions exactly like the Check4Change Addon on Mozilla Firefox.

Widgets are not extensions... You can't do that with a widget...

As noted above, this feature is built in opera; right-click anywhere on page, that you want to auto-reload, select "Reload every..." and select "Custom" from submenu. This small feature works also on speeddials :smile:

sorry but forgot to mention a point...

it should refresh the page after regular intervals and also give a pop-up/alert (preferably audio) if any changes are found in the page...

like suppose i am keenly following a particular news, then it should refresh the news page and notify when a new news appears...

I hope u guys now got my point.

It's still not possible with a widget and may be only slightly possible with UserJS script....

It is possible to build a widget that downloads a page, refreshes it, records and displays the changes. But it can't play sounds. Of course, just for clarity, I won't try to make any widgets this or next year.

I'd rather not have a widget that plays sounds, it's really very irritating!
