 		update notification
if anyone is interested, i wrote a quick program to refresh the website every 15 seconds. if there is a change, it sends a message to my cell phone to alert me. anyone else want an alert sent to an email or anything? if so, give me an email address and I will add yours to the list.

 		haha...i guess thats true. but whatever....well, here, heres proof i guess...


Code:

Private Sub Command1_Click()
WebBrowser1.Navigate (Text1.Text)

End Sub

Private Sub Command2_Click()
Timer1.Enabled = Not Timer1.Enabled

End Sub

Private Sub Form_Load()
oldHTML = "FIRST"
Timer1.Enabled = False
WebBrowser1.Navigate ("http://www.ourcolony.net")

End Sub

Private Sub Timer1_Timer()
oldHTML = WebBrowser1.Document.documentElement.innerHTML

WebBrowser1.Refresh2
Dim newHTML As String
newHTML = WebBrowser1.Document.documentElement.innerHTML
If (oldHTML <> newHTML) Then
    If (Winsock1.State <> 0) Then Winsock1.Close
   
   
    Winsock1.Connect
   
    While Winsock1.State <> 7
    DoEvents
    Wend
    'MsgBox "Winsock: Host(" & Winsock1.RemoteHost & "[" & Winsock1.RemotePort & "])" & vbTab & "Status: " & Winsock1.State
   
    Dim TmpMsg As String
    TmpMsg = TmpMsg & "HELO ourcolony.alertSPLATdc.com" & vbCrLf
    TmpMsg = TmpMsg & "MAIL FROM: ourcolony.alertSPLATdc.com" & vbCrLf
    TmpMsg = TmpMsg & "RCPT TO: EMAILADDY" & vbCrLf
    TmpMsg = TmpMsg & "DATA" & vbCrLf
    TmpMsg = TmpMsg & "Subject: UPDATE!" & vbCrLf
    TmpMsg = TmpMsg & "Ourcolony has been updated" & vbCrLf
    TmpMsg = TmpMsg & "." & vbCrLf
    TmpMsg = TmpMsg & "QUIT"
    Winsock1.SendData TmpMsg
    DoEvents
   
    Winsock1.Close
    '    MsgBox "Trying to send email"
 End If



End Sub

 		Good work colonist. How do you figure out there's a change? Just curious.

 		compare the source for the site to the one just previous to the refresh. i was worried about the timer, but it doesnt show up in the source, so it doesnt change.

 		Shouldn't you navigate to the team page, rather than the main page?

 		it does the team page


which was a bit of a problem really, since it uses cookies to stay logged in, so i ended up having to use an internetbrowser control and actually have the page open.


works like a charm. i tested it on some other sites, and i have also checked to make sure that it does indeed send out emails.


oh, and if you were referring to the "WebBrowser1.navigate "http://www.ourcolony.net" line, that is under the Form_Load function, which only gets called when the application begins running. then i navigate to the team page, login, click a button, and wait for an update.

again, if anyone else would like updates, let me know
