Problem with refresh button breaking automatic refresh

As a public service, I'm posting the solution to a problem I had. The
bizarre thing is that I think this should have created an error.
Instead, it sort of worked, but not quite. Many are familiar with
this line:

<meta http-equiv="refresh" ; content="10";ur l="DataForm.asp x">

Instead, I inadvertently made it look like this:

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content='10;url ="DataForm.aspx "'>

The result was that the auto refresh worked, but only until the user
clicked the refresh button in the browser. After clicking the button,
the auto refresh wouldn't work anymore.

I wish this had been reported as a syntax error or something similar.
It almost slipped through integration testing.

Does the page automatically reload when it processes en event or a method? When I click on a button and it processes the information, it loads everything into their respective textboxes but immediately then does a refresh. Unfortunately, on my page load event, I tell it to clear everything (then the user doesn't see the result). Is it possible to tell the web app NOT to refresh unless the user hits the Refresh button in the Explorer?...

www.webmaster, was suggested that this ng could be a better place.] I've updated my test server to handle if-modified-since. I've noticed that the (old copies I run of) IE and Netscape seem never to send if-modified-since. But the strange thing is that Opera sends if-modified-since but when I reply with "HTTP/1.0 304 Not Modified" it is not refreshing the screen from its cache, it is leaving the screen blank.

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
