Need some software for a kiosk installation that acts a bit like a screensaver, but rather than kicking in a screensaver after x minutes of keyboard/mouse inactivity, it instead calls a URL in an already open browser window. Tried doing it in javascript but it all goes horribly wrong in framesets and when Flash content is loaded.

Anyone come across anything that can do this?

I thought you could use ActiveX to do that in Java?

Possibly, but that's outside my area of expertise Anyhow, for the price of a bottle of Jack Daniels a mate coded a small VB exe that does the job.
