Refreshing Internet page, loop and checking for changes?

I'm sorry, please don't think that I'm lazy cause I'm not, but I just can't figure it out.

What I'm trying to do is make a script for Internet Explorer. What it needs to do is use the webpage that is already open and refresh it constantly. But while doing that, I want it to check (in every refresh) for a sudden change in the page. Because I want to make it detecting the colour red in a specified area. And if the colour red gets detected, I want it to play a long beep sound or a specified wave-sound.

Please, can anyone make it for me or otherwise explain in details how to do such a thing? :S

Hi,

To refresh the page you can just do:

SetFocus>Internet Explorer*
Press F5

To detect colour in a specified area use the GetPixelColor function. See here for a code snippet for searching a specific rectangle:

To play a wav file use the PlayWav function:
PlayWav>c:\somewavfile.wav

So all you need now is to dress that up in a loop.

Hope this helps.
