How to Get a Web Page to Refresh Every Day
The HyperText Markup Language, better known as HTML, is used in website design to tell Web browsers what to display when a page loads. Besides using HTML to add text, images and links to a Web page, you can also enter code to perform certain actions within a browser. For example, you can use custom HTML code to set your website to automatically refresh once a day, starting from the time a user first visits the site.
