Is there some trick to making this work? Or does it not work at all? I've
tested it out three times now trying to schedule a page for a 5 minute
window and it never shows up... I only get the before and after page. I've
double checked my times and date (today's date) but other than that I don't
see any other settings.
 
Scheduled include file will only be included when you open the site and run
Tools->Recalculate Hyperlinks, or publish to the site.

well I am doing the work locally and then publishing to the remote site. Are
you saying that I also have to log into the remote site and recalculate
hyperlinks for this to work?
 
Either login and recalc hyperlinks, or publish to the site AFTER (a few
milliseconds will suffice) the scheduled time.

IMO, scheduled includes are a hassle. If the website supports server-side
scripting, then Server Side Includes are easier to deal with.

I can see what you mean... if I have to log in to the remote site after I
schedule the page then what's the point of scheduling it in the first place.
My host (webhost4life.com) may support such things but I really suck at web
development.. basically if I can't do it with FrontPage it's not going to
get done. Don't get me wrong, I could eventually figure it out, but I just
don't have the free time to work on it at the moment. I wear too many hats
at the company...
 
just to add to the conversation... when I open my remote site, it's actually
rotating the included pages, but when I view it in IE on any computer in the
office it is not rotating them.
 
You have to refresh the page in your browser or change your browser to always check for new content
on each visit.

I tried a simple refresh and I tried clearing my browser cache.. I even
tried going to a completely new computer but I still can not see the
scheduled page in Internet Explorer... but like I said earlier it does show
up as changed when I view the remote site live.
 
1. You must run a tools | recalculate Hyperlink command after the time the schedule update should
take place on the live/remote site.

2. Make sure the you do not have any browser open.

I've tried that too... still no luck... here's the link

www.hallssalvage.com it's the good deal/better deal logo.. you can see in
the code that it should be :

<!--webbot bot="ScheduledInclude" U-Include="betterdeal.htm"
U-Else-Include="gooddeal.htm" D-Start-Date="18 Sep 2006 18:39:00"
D-End-Date="18 Sep 2006 20:15:00" startspan -->

but all it ever shows is the gooddeal.htm page... the betterdeal.htm page
has the following text under the logo:

Click on the logo above and enter tonight's secret word in both the
username and password field to choose your Good Deal or Better Deal!
 
Yes - if the server is in a different time zone to you. I am in UK which
is why I specified the time as GMT.
