Forced Refresh - Site Owners Forums

AcidBurn · 02-19-2004, 03:31 PM

Yea... when a selected page loads, I want it to refresh, ONE time... I've tried using various differnt META tags... but they like to make if refresh every X seconds or refresh to a new page after X seconds... and I don't want that... just when the page loads, to refresh to itself... any help would be awesome

The following META tags won't cause a page to refresh but will ensure that the page isn't cached, meaning a fresh page will be loaded from the server every time:

<META HTTP-EQUIV="Expires" CONTENT="0">
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Pragma" CONTENT="no-cache">
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Cache-Control" CONTENT="no-cache">

Some of the above work in certain browsers but not others. Including all three should ensure no caching with any browser.

I would call a client side JS function inside the body tag
eg.. on load="someFunctionname();"
then inside the function call a refresh after your chosen period of time out

Im sure you have a good reason for this functionality, what are you trying to achieve?

Or (a redirect to the same page after a given time)
<BODY onLoad=window.setTimeout("location.href='samePageN ame.html'",10000)>

Or perhaps...

<BODY onLoad='window.setTimeout("location.reload(true)", 10000)'>

<BODY onLoad='window.setTimeout("location.replace(\"same page.htm\")")'>
