Remarks

Windows Internet Explorer 7. The CDF (Channel Definition Format) is obsolete and should not be used.

The days, hours, and minutes are added to determine the offset from the beginning of the INTERVALTIME.

If EARLIESTTIME is not specified, the earliest time is set to the beginning of the INTERVALTIME value by default.

Examples

The following example shows a schedule that will update the channel every day during the month of December, sometime between 10 A.M. and 2 P.M. The EARLIESTTIME element is nested in the SCHEDULE element.

<SCHEDULE STARTDATE="1998-12-01" STOPDATE="1998-12-31">
    <INTERVALTIME DAY="1" /> 
    <EARLIESTTIME HOUR="10" />
