Hans,

As I explained to you privately, gb.web's Webpage class is a server-side technology. It can do nothing with the page after it is 
sent to the web browser. To programmatically update a page periodically, one *must* use a client-side technology.

Expecting Webpage to have a client-side timer is like expecting to have the capability of catching a train after it has already 
left the station. And, criticizing the Webpage class for not having what it cannot have is unreasonable and, IMO, disrespectful.

If you need a Gambas-style web timer, then either use gb.web.gui's WebTimer or adapt to your liking the Javascript timer class 
example I created for you.
