Custom HTML coding help

Question

I am trying to attain a way of having a link on the Orion server that will rotate between 3 different custom views every X minutes.  We have several customized views on our Views Bar that I would like a link that would automatically cycle through them on a timed basis.

example:

http://orion.here.com/Orion/SummaryView.aspx?viewid=19   <- View 1

http://orion.here.com/Orion/SummaryView.aspx?viewid=20   <- View 2

http://orion.here.com/Orion/SummaryView.aspx?viewid=21   <- View 3

I would want a link that every so often would cycle through these 3 links.

Is this possible and if so, what would the HTML code be in order to do this?

I'm not sure this is possible because the standard method of page redirects via HTML requires a meta tag in the <HEAD> section. Instead, are you open to the idea of having each view in a separate tab in Firefox and then automatically rotating between the three tabs? If so, check out the following threads for suggestions.

I use a Firefox plugin to cycle through open tabs in the browser.

Just a guess, but it would need to be something like Java that could loop through your links and open them in the same window.  Just like clicking link to link as you surf.

Now that I think about it, you could use PHP.  I did it that way with a system I wrote with PHP,Net-SNMP, MYSQL, and JPGraph, to monitor and gather statistics on the network.  Cycling through tabs would be much simpler and would be up and running in minutes,
