[gui-talk] How do you stop a web page from constantly reloading?

[Jude DaShiell]

Here's a little more of the problem.  Not all web pages are even web 
pages at all, they're portals.  Those portals have several different 
items on them that can change as often as they're designed to change and 
because they're not web pages as such, not much can get done about 
these.  One possible solution that might ultimately work would be to 
open one of these portals and log in if necessary then copy the entire 
visible portal's content to a file on the user's computer and disconnect 
from the portal and open that file with the browser.  Examine that file 
and if a user wants to use a link on the file, do so and maybe start 
connecting back to the portal.  Login may be necessary and if it can be 
done automatically and the user gets where the link would have taken 
them, repeat the process on the new page of copying the new page then 
disconnecting from the web page to do your remote reading.  This would 
take a bit of coding to get done.
