Can you set up an automatic page update based on time?

[nocontende]

I was curious if, in dreamweaver, you can set up a page to automatically update
at a certain time. For instance, I want the home page to replace 2 buttons at
12:30pm on November 3. Is this possible? Or do I have to upload a page
manually at that time? Thanks!

DW doesn't do that.

Does anything do that?

take into account the code in any dynamic page only executes at the
server when requested by a client (browser). you'll need an application
running continuosly on the server, checking the time and doing whatever
you want. this kind of apps are known as "daemons" in *NIX machines an
are started by the OS. they are called services in Windows

an easier approach could be checking the date in your home page and do
something if it's greater than the one you fixed. but as Murray pointed
out, you'll need to hand code it

if you need more info, the Application Development forum is the right place
