| In order for viewers to see the most recent snapshot of your Webcam, they will have to reload it, unless you set up your page to do that for them. An HTML code or Java applet can activate an auto re-load feature in a pre-determined time frame. |

|
|
|
| The HTML tag that enables this feature is as follows, where LT represents the less-than sign, and GT represents the greater than sign. (LT)HEAD(GT)
… (LT)META HTTP-EQUIV=REFRESH
CONTENT="seconds"(GT) … …(LT)/HEAD(GT)

|
| The disadvantage with the HTML tag above is that the whole page is refreshed instead of just the Webcam image itself. If you have heavy-duty graphics, this kind of process is probably too cumbersome. |
|
|
|
|
| Another way to perform this process so that your audience does not have to wait for the entire page to reload is by setting up your Web page with frames so that a little frame can be used to store the HTML code for your image. This way, only the image, not the entire page, can be refreshed. |

|
|
| Java Applets are an alternative to using frames to refresh your Webcam. They are very versatile in terms of where they can be used, and are very popular among Webcammers. However, they are slightly more complicated to use than HTML commands. |
