I went through this with my quasi-live sales presentations, where I
would have the other person on the phone, and send refresh web pages with
my image over the net.
Bottom line, you set up alternatives, and have a cgi decide how to
handle it for each browser.
* CGI decides how to refresh each page
- slower
+ simpler, less pages
+ easier to end the sequence after N refreshes or info complete
* "Gateway" CGI decides which non-indexed directory to send user to
+ faster
- multiple non-search engine indexed subdirectories
- people will pass on the wrong URLs
- must add subdirectories to robots.txt file
- sequence must have a planned end
* User decides which page set to use based on commented alternatives
- users don't usually get it right
- users who don't get good service simply leave
- people will pass on the wrong URLs
- must add subdirectories to robots.txt file
- sequence must have a planned end
If the effect is primary, then you accept the slowdown. If the
effect is secondary, you drop the effect.
In my case, most people had some form of trouble, but the effects
were somewhat worth while, as they made a memorable impression. Somewhere
between half and one quarter of the people could not receive the refresh
pages. On some machines, refresh pages would create a new window,
crashing the machine after some number of refreshes exhaust all resources.
And of course, if the refresh is not properly ended, someone will
leave that page up on their machine, driving your hit counts through the
roof.
