Automatically switch between different web pages

Question

I have a large LCD mounted on my wall at my work, and I would like to display some webpage with statistics on it, in a rotating manner - switch to a different webpage every few seconds.

I think that I can run a script to execute and kill the browser with a different webpage every few seconds, but it seems like a very inefficient process. Another idea was to switch the workspaces and keep every browser in a different one, but I don't know how to do that.

Do you know of any way of doing this under Ubuntu?

Answer 1

I think the easiest solution here is to use one of the Firefox add-ons to switch between tabs in a timed manner. Here are links to couple of them. We use this kind of solution at work and it works like a charm.

• Tab Slideshow
• Auto Toggle Tabs

Answer 2

Are they webpages that you've created to be used solely for this purpose? Could you use a html redirect to load the next page in sequence after a set time delay?

<meta name="refresh" content="10;nextpage.html">

Answer 3

you can use marquee also. firstly convert the web pages to images by PrtScn and then use them in marquee. i think that will be quick and efficient too.
