page refresh. bug?

Mike

On my web app I allow the user to enable or disable the refreshing of the
page. I notcied that if the browser window is minimized the page does not
refresh, or if it sits a long time without any user interaction(doe s not
happen often) the page does not refresh. Is this a code issue or just how
refresh works?

Refreshing a browser is done either by the user pressing a key, menu, or
toolbar item that refreshes the page, or by the use of JavaScript on the
page. You didn't mention in what context you were talking about refreshing a
page. What you DID say ("I allow the user to enable or disable the
refreshing of the page") doesn't make sense. I can tell you that if a
browser window is minimized, the user certainly can NOT interact with the
browser to refresh the page.

Thanks Mike,

So, you're saying that if the browser is minimized, the JavaScript doesn't
run and refresh the page? Interesting. Have you tried using a META Refresh
tag?

difference between refreshing a page, postback and viewstate

by: Dan | last post by:

Hi, i'm not sure to understand the difference between refreshing the pagina by clicking on 'refresh' in the browser and a postback. What i think it is: Suppose a page with a form containing a textbox and a dropdowlist: and a button to start something n code-behind: a refresh doesn't send any value back to the server but with a postback, the values are sent? But then, which role does Viewstate play in the postback proces?

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
