Auto refresh Internet explorer web pages

Generically, add the following tag to the header of your page:
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="x" > where 'x' is the number of seconds between refreshes. IE 6 doesn't seem to respect values greater than 3600, so if you need to refresh every hour (seems unlikely), you need to use javascript. There's a good example <a href="http://grizzlyweb.com/webmaster/javascri....

But does that work in all browsers?

i think he wants IE to refresh any page not justhis page and IE canjot do this natively

Opera browser can and firefox has an extention that does this but for IE you can try this

Hi,

thanks for this question. Made me research the topic and I found some interesting stuff. But first, it is not possible in IE to do this. At least not out of the box. But I found this::
RefreshBar at http://www.refreshbar.com/ It is not free but it only cost $4.25. I downloaded the free trial version which is without limitations. It will expire in ... well, it doesn't say when. Anyway, I think it is a nice tool and it will hoepfully do the job for you.

You set the time in seconds and press the button to start refreshing! Need IE 4.0 or higher. I tested it with IE 7 Beta 3. Works without problems.

Hope this helped.

Cheers

Peter

This Internet Explorer addon automatically refreshes websites for you. You can set it to refresh your pages at custom intervals or any predefined ones. Each browser window has its own refresh control. Istaller/uninstaller are included with this package. Great for surfing Web pages that are updated often.

Hi...I downloaded the refreshbar software from the website, but did not get a trial version. So i purchased a license but have not yet received it even though the payment was acknowledged and the key was to be sent it a 'few minutes'. Can anyone help ?

How about this?

Though this is an old question, as there is no answer given to this post, I thought of provide an answer.

Have a look at http://www.expertcore.org/viewtopic.php?...

Basically what it says is, this can be easily done with both Opera and Firefox (require extra add-on).

Hope this helps somebody who requires the same thing.

Regards,

Neo
