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(does not
happen often) the page does not refresh. Is this a code issue or just how
refresh works?

I dont believe its a bug. I think its a optimization done by IE.

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?
