    We managed to sort out configure the digital screen…but once opened the page doesn’t seem to refresh.

    Salaah times shows correctly on first day….but continues showing same page with same times a week later

    Is there anything we need to do to make this link refresh automatically

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Assalamualaikum,

    My solution has been to periodically refresh the page using a single line of JavaScript.

    // Reload the page every minute to update times
setTimeout("location.reload(true);", 60000);

    An improvement on this will be to reload only the prayer times without reloading the entire page.

    Also, as an extra tip, to reduce the risk of burn-in on LCD screens you can animate the section or div that your prayer table is in so that it moves gradually around the screen. You can make this very subtle so that it’s not obvious to the viewer but it will help reduce damage that could happen to the screen over time.

    Salaam,

    Salaam bro Ibrahim,

    Can you tell me something more about the screen burning issue, I am not aware of it.

    I will look into the loading time without page refresh, which is ajax, but I found it takes more server load, but I will think of it again.

    Instead, I found its much lighter to have page refresh 15 mins before and after the iqamah.

    Mustafiz.
