refresh effect

Bruno

Hi there,

I have some code (it will be a chat later) which uses the meta tag

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="135; URL=/mydomaine/index-neu.php">

Yes, after 135 seconds, I see a refresh on the IE. However, if I work in GMX
or something else, the refreshed page will bring up the window in front of
everything, that ist enoying!

here is the code (which is generated by a php Script)

can anyone help me on this $%& strange effect?
regards Bruno

Meta refresh is not advised from w3c quality tips
how you can read here :

I do not want to REDIRECT to another page, I want to RELOAD it - because it
is a "chat" like page.

There is a reason why most chat rooms are not written in HTML.
This is part of that reason.

The focus problem you experience is probably due to the fact that your
JavaScript gives focus to one of the form boxes. Remove that and the
page might continue to happily reload in the background.

By default, FireFox disables refresh. So unless you explicitly ask all
of your visitors to turn ON refresh, it may not have any effect.

Use javascript to refresh the content, plus add a reload link. To get
around the page being cached, use server side scripting to modify the
link used for refreshing.

<a href="thispage.asp?randomnumber=214124124">click here to refresh</a>

....is what the browser sees. But server side it looks like this:

<a href="thispage.asp?randonmuber=<%=myrandomnumber%>">click here to
refresh</a>

That means if the user clicks the button, the browser thinks that it is
going to a different page each time and forces it to fetch the page from
the server...
