Auto Refresh Page?

I've read threads on this subject but there seem to be conflicting views on how
best to deal with it.

The basic need is to have a page auto-refresh when it's opened so it always
shows the most current content.

Any ideas?

Thank you.

within header:
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="30">

I am having the same problem. I need a page that auto-refreshes every time it
is opened.

had <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
replaced with the suggestion <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="30">

page still doesn't auto-refresh. suggestions?

when you click on a link in the nav menu on the right side, the resultant page
will not auto-refresh changes made

ultimately I want all the pages to refresh, but specifically I changed the code on the "Downloads" link

and place it in the head of the html code. it should worked.. i always used it

I'll take your word for it...thanks.

Maybe you can tell me how this plays into the problem and if there is a way
around it? The site is cloaked, so when you try to manually refresh a page
(other than the index page) from the browser it reverts back to the index page.
So I'm not sure if its the page not telling the browser to refresh or if the
browser can't figure out it should refresh the page because of the cloaking.

not sure if this helps or not, but here ya go.

function MM_reloadPage(init) { //reloads the window if Nav4 resized
if (init==true) with (navigator) {if ((appName=="Netscape")&&(parseInt(appVersion)==4)) {
document.MM_pgW=innerWidth; document.MM_pgH=innerHeight; onresize=MM_reloadPage; }}
else if (innerWidth!=document.MM_pgW || innerHeight!=document.MM_pgH) location.reload();
}
MM_reloadPage(true);
