Automatically refresh page without wiping vars

[johnv20]

Hi,
does anyone know a way to automatically refresh a page without blasting the strings which were loaded when the page was loaded ie. var something = String((Request("something&quot); ?

I have tried using the http-eqiv="Refresh" but to no avail

Thanks

When you refresh you should still have the form data, but all of your ASP variables are gone because the ASP already finished processing and released the memory. The ASP page should re-execute using the exact same form information as was originally passed to it.
Once a page has been fully sent to the client requesting it, the server-side portion of the execution is finished and all variables are released to clean up memory.
I was unsure whether you were asking about request data or string variables, so I hope the above clears it up a little.
