Automatically Refresh a Page Using JavaScript or Meta Tags
I try to steer clear of modifying a page without the user triggering the change, much less automatically refresh or redirect a page. There are times when automatically refreshing the page is important, like when you pull up game play-by-play pages on NFL.com or ESPN.com. Whatever your reason for automatically refreshing the page, keep one thing in mind: auto-refresh only pages that have little interaction -- nothing more than a click.
The JavaScript Method
var timer = null;
function auto_reload()
{
window.location = 'http://domain.com/page.php';
}
<body onload="timer = setTimeout('auto_reload()',10000);">
The META Tag Method
The following refreshes the page every 30 seconds.
<head>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="30" />
</head>

I use a refresh feature in Firefox 3.0 (it’s an add-in) that allows me to set a refresh time for a page from 30 secs to unlimited minutes. I was wondering if you know of a program or add-in for IE7 (and now IE8) that would allow me to do same kind of thing.
Thanks
