Continous refreshing [resolved]
I use the following code to refresh a pge:
PHP Code:
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="5;URL=<? echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>#bottom">
Now that code does refresh the page after 5 seconds. But it doesn't keep refreshing the page. Why is this and what can I do about it?

The only thing I can think of is to create 2 pages that are exactly alike and have the URL in the meta tag point to the other so they just bounce back and forth, but you still have the same content, and AFAIK, it should keep doing the refresh that way. I haven't tested this theory tho.

Hmm.. I think it'd be easier to make a JavaScript function with a setTimeout to reload the page. The thing is that I didn't want to use JavaScript on this page.

Ok, I'm using Opera and the meta refresh keeps refreshing without bouncing to the new page.
Ok, I just tested the normal way in IE and that works too. So what is your problem?

For me it refreshes once, then stops refreshing. I got rid of the php and used the filename instead, thinking that could be it. That didn't change anything.
It might have something to do with that this is inside an iframe. But I don't really see how that matters.

Ok, I've tested it within an Iframe also and it works in both IE and Opera. What version of your browser are you using?

well firefox is 0.9.2, but IE is only 5.0 or something. That could be it, but I still don't see why it's happening.
If it realises to refresh once, why doesn't it do it every time? It just seems weird. I might have to use JS then.

You don't like my 2 page idea? Seems like a lot of work to create something in JS.

Well, two pages creates one unneccesary page. JavaScript means I have to use Javascript on a pgae where I shouldn't need it. I consider both clutter. It's not absolutely necessary to make the auto-refresh though. I might just not have it.

While I'd been trying to avoid JS, I think I'll use that.

actually I figured out how to do it nicely. I'll put the code in the page which holds the iframe. that way there is still no JS inside the iframe.
