There are a few other ways, you can take a look at this thread if you can use PHP:

And if you can't then you can use javascript. What I suggest doing it putting the <nosrcipt> and </noscript> before and after the <meta> tags. And then after that put the javascript.

You could use ajax to make certain parts of the page re-load automatically without having to actually refresh the page.

i dont really want to use ajax, but the code nile told me to use that still makes the page flicker and its not smooth is there anyway at all than using ajax

how about a webpage transition effect on page enter to load everything first before its displayed would that work?

any ideas people?

i want to use ajax to refresh my page with no flicker effect in ie how do i do it

i really want it to refresh the page automaticalyl with no flicker effect when the text is updated inside the text file store/mike.txt is it possible?

You can't load a page without using ajax and expect it not to flicker. The only way is ajax. Why don't you want to use it?

could i have a website to get me on track or an example code that i can modify i have spent so many hours trying everything.

Have patience. Those helping you aren't necessarily going to visit every 12 hours to answer. It may take a little more time, especially considering that you keep changing what you're asking for. Near the beginning of the discussion Ajax was suggested, but you asked for something else. Now you do want Ajax.
