Hi there,

i use <meta http-equiv="Refresh"... in my page to reload it every n seconds. but when user click a link on this page and goes to other page and then press browser back button, auto reload does not function properly or better to say it stops! and that page never get refreshed again.

Here i want to ask for a solution to fix this problem

?

Thank you.

Thank you.

You can put this on your page 10000 means 10 seconds

javascript Code:

<script>
setTimeout("history.go(0);",10000);
</script>

but there is a disadvantage to that...javascript will need to be enabled on that machine...

@ dannyguk

Should i put that code in the same page with <meta http_equiv... or in the other pages?

Place the code in the <body> of the page you would like the reload dont place any other code to reload the page or it will not work.
