Normally WebTimer1_Timer() should work as expected. Can you post your 
project?

Alas, as I explained in the other mail, rhe server cannot trigger 
anything on the client. It can only act in the response of a request 
coming from the client, which is normally a GUI interaction or a 
WebTimer tick.

Maybe there is two possible tricks :

1) Opening a request forever, so that at any moment the server can act 
by responding to it. The problem is that request timeout can occur at 
any moment. But maybe it is enough to restart the request in that case.

2) Using "WebSocket", a browser feature. But I have never used it, and 
never looked at the documentation. So maybe this is not possible.
