Website Auto Refresh

Recommended Posts

How do you get your website to auto refresh or must this be done by the user? What I mean is sometime when I update my website I have to hit F5 (refresh) to see the changes and I'm woundering if people who are visiting my site are seeing the updates?

 

Any insight will be helpful! :blink:

From IE menu bar:

Tools | internet options | settings | select 'every visit to page' | OK | OK

 

From start button:

start [settings] | control panel | Internet options | [as above from here]

So are you saying the end user has to have his/her computer set to refresh?

Hmm. Looks like if 'automatically' is set- the browser can take prompts from java or html.

 

Found two ways to do it-

 

Java

 

HTML - Gotta dig for this one, search the page for 'refresh'

 

Thank you google :)

I must say- If the page refreshes say, every minute or so, it gets annoying fast.

 

More than likely, unless someone has IE set to 'never' they will see the up to date version when they go to your page.

 

Unless you use java/html to auto refresh it, the will have to hit refresh to see changes made since they connected. You probably have this prob cause you post changes and have the page open in another browser. If you close the broswer, open a new one and go back to your site, you should see the changes, same as refreshing the page.

 

Please PM me if it's still not clear
