Automatic Refresh 2

[EnemyGateIsDown]

Hi Guys,

Can anyone tell me how I can get a page to automatically refresh itself every X seconds?

Any help is as always greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Chris

There have been threads on here about that.. search for META. The META tag will refresh the page at x seconds intevals...

Also, thread855-1182045 (as it describes a server side method as it depends what you are actually trying to do).

Hi Guys,

Finally managed to drop back onto this project

Thanks for your input guys. I have been tinkering with the META tag approach but I want to maintain the pages "state" when it refreshes.

The pages' state is defined by 3 controls for date start date end and location.

Is there any way that I can effectively perform a page submit every x seconds rather than a refresh ?

Any help is as always greastly appreciated.

Thanks dvannoy,

If i use the meta tag as follows:

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="4;URL=default.aspx">

Then the page refreshes but goes back to defaults for the controls..

In the content section can I specify javascript?

so that it would read something like

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="Javascript:document.FrmInteract.submit();">
