Forced refresh - 5/17/2009 10:49:01
Is there some code that would go in the <head> section that would force a browser to refresh?
I have a site that changes often and a number of users don't realize that they need to refresh their browser.

What server technologies do you have available to you? I would try to avoid using JavaScript for this, as some users do disable it.

Other than html and java script, I use some asp code.
I understand that some people disable javascript, but I'm willing to live with this if the code is easy and it works.

Use:
<%
Response.AddHeader "Refresh", "10"
%>
But you will have to re-label the pages as .asp rather than .htm(l)

Thanks Giomanach.
Thanks for the reminder about changing the extension to asp; I would have blown that. Also, I assume that "10" refers to 10 seconds and can be changed. Will "0" work?

You can use refresh in the meta tag
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="600">

You don't want to do a 0 as that will constantly refresh the page - and yes it refers to seconds.

I would try to avoid using those kind of meta tags, they have been known to cause more problems than they are worth ;)
