Is there a way of reloading a page programatically - for example,

<script language="javascript>
document.location.reload()
</script>

BUT NOT HAVING TO MANUALLY CLICK A "RESET" BUTTOM.

That would do just that.

It would do it ad nauseum, though. :)

You could do it as part of a setTimeout if you wanted it reloaded, say,
every 5 minutes.

Here's mine. I use it with a frameset and this is the top frame, so it
has "self" in it.
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
// settimeout for session expiration - check every 5 minutes
function reloadMe()
{
self.document.location.reload();
}
setTimeout("reloadMe()",1000*60*5);
</script>
