Auto Refesh

**derek barnstorm** · 01-17-2006, 08:16 AM

I often update my website and want the homepage to auto refresh just one time on entry. I have found a loy of informayion on refreshing every few seconds but can't find anything on refreshing the page just once.
Can anybody help me?

Derek.

In head of page:

Code:

<META http-eqiuv="REFRESH" Content="60; URL=.">

http://www.google.com/search?q=meta%20refresh

1) You've mistyped http-equiv;
2) That won't refresh it just one time, now will it.
OP: If you have a server-side language, you should use that to generate the meta-refresh tag like so:

PHP Code:


<html>
  <head>
    <?php if(!isset($_GET['a'])) echo('<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=' . $PHP_SELF . '?a"/>'); ?>
    <!-- rest of page -->

If not, you will need to do something client-side like this:

Code:

<html>
  <head>
    <script type="text/javascript">
      if(window.location.href.indexOf("?") == -1) window.location.href += "?";
    </script>
    <!-- rest of page -->

Of course, better still is to just make sure your server changes its modified times properly.
