refresh page?

[crobinson42]

Hello, i have absolutely no experience with javascript.

I am all php and mysql

I just have a quick question:

<!--Yee Ha! -->
<a href="javascript:location.reload(true)">Refresh this page</a>

I would like to know how to use javascript to refresh a page after a certain period of time. The above code looks like it will just 'reload', but i would like to set it to reload every 5 minutes If you could either point me towards a tutorial, or just smack me for asking a retarded question...either way i appreciate the response ;-)

Here:

setTimeout(function(){
  location.href.reload(true);
}, 50000);
