Thanks, Ampa.   :)

This is a private password protected page, so doesn't have an RSS feed.

I remembered this morning that I had promised to come back and let you know what went on.

I never could get Internet Owl to work for me.   It seemed to work for the most part, but I could not get it to reload the page that needed my password, it just kept reloading the page before it, the login page.    The writer of the program disappeared, so I guess he was done working with it.

So, creators.   FAME IS WIDE OPEN FOR YOU!   Create one of these programs that won't snag there and I'm pretty sure your name will go down right next to Lincoln, Ceasar, and Frosty.   :-*   Just let me know when you get it done.   Thanks!   :Thmbsup:

Thought I'd let any interested parties know what is going on with this series of events...

I have downloaded Internet Owl and am attempting to get it to work for me.
Hitting some snags.
Thanks Jim, for your help.
Will post any results when I have them.

OK   well I found it for free.

Now I'm suspicious.   Especially with the 'phony-websites' thing.   
I feel extremely naive right now. 

Do you think this site is legit?

Thanks you guys.    :Thmbsup: 

That looks pretty close to what I need, except it would be a perfect gem if it had an audible alarm. 

Ideally, I should be refreshing every 30 seconds, so being able to leave, listening for a sound, and not have to look for visual highlights would be very nice.

It's expensive, but would probably be worth it.
I'm going to try to shop for some deals.    :-*

Yes, I've already got an auto refresh.    :Thmbsup: 

I have not found one that notifies you of changes though. 

Thanks!

My husband is a truck driver who must find loads posted off a continually updated load board.

What I have to do is fill out a form with criteria to search for loads that will fit his needs, then up pops the results to my search.

The problem is that I must auto-refresh as quickly as possible to find new loads, and this means I have to attempt to memorize the page each time it refreshes so I can see if anything new has come up.  This can go on for hours or even days.

I cannot tell you what a lovely thing it would be if I could simply set the page to auto-refresh and then leave, letting a program do that work for me.

If there were a way to have a program identify any new info on the refreshed page, highlight it, and sound a little bell to call me over to look, I'd be such a happy camper.    :D

Is something like this possible with a smallish amount of work?

Thank you,
Valerie
