Browser Refesh

garyrobertson · #1 (**permalink**) 08-13-2003, 01:36 PM

Does anyone know how to force a browser refresh on HTML pages.
I am currently using

'<META HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" CONTENT="10">'

in the <HEAD> but this forces continual refreshing.

I would like to refresh only once on each page loading !!

I would appreciate any advice.

Cheers

JavaScript.

Do you have some Javascript that will perform this task ?

Please advise

Well, it's easy. You use a JavaScript that refreshed your page and put in a little testing code.

I would set this onLoad:

Code:

var testReloadDone=false;

Then, in your refresh:

Code:

...
if(!testReloadDone){
  // do refresh
  testReloadDone=true;
}

Enough hints?
