Frequently Updating Images can be displayed with standard html image source tags. A meta-refresh tag can be used to automatically reload pages at some pre-defined time delay. There are a number of Java Applets that can be used to display Webcam images smoothly and seamlessly without reloading the entire page. EarthCam offers such an applet.
