Auto-Refresh Page Only Once

36 New Member
Hi Fellow Members,

I want to know if HTML provides any way of refreshing a page only once automatically.

My requirement is to refresh a page automatically only once after 2 minutes to display an updated data.

Henceforth, the page should not refresh anymore.

Can anyone suggest me some ways to do it.

Thanks

No, not for a one time basis.

Not back to the same page without either using JavaScript or turning the page into a script.

If you put refresh in a meta element into the HTML back to the same HTML page then every 2 minutes it'll be refreshed.

Using either JavaScript or turning the page into a script. Pass a name value pair on the query string or a cookie (but remember some people may have turned cookies off or only accept from certain sites). If you don't have the value write the meta element. If you do have the value don't write the meta element.

Hi. This post follows "does python have useless destructors". I'm not an expert, so I hope what I will write is meaningfull and clear. Actually in Python there is no possibility to write code that follows C++ RAII pattern. Of course Python objects are not statics like in C++, but in C++ the auto_ptr class is used for enforcing this pattern for dynamical

at work they decided to center divs thus: body {text-align:center} #content {width: 612px; text-align:left; margin: 0 auto 0 auto; } this works fine in IE & FF, EXCEPT in FF it doesn't work if I change 'auto' to 0 for left and right margin values; I have to leave those at 'auto'.. so I would like to know what exactly means 'auto' -- what value it represents exactly (and does it apply for all elements/values you might apply 'auto' to?)

I currently get asked about my usage of "auto". What is it for? The keyword is clearly superflous here. In contrast to the huge majority of C/C++ developers I write definitions very explicitly like that: int main(char argc, char *argv, char *env) { try { auto Exception mainException(1); mainException.setErrNo(42);

Hi, I've encountered a strange problem with Firefox which I don't have any idea how to resolve. To the point: I've <divelement with a style "height: auto" and I want to retrieve this value ("auto") in JavaScript - however instead of getting "auto" value, I get calculated height. In IE and Opera it simply returns "auto". Any ideas how to check in Firefox if element height was set to "auto" ? I'll be grateful for any help.

Hello, I've found a few postings of this problem but none of the answers seem to fix my problem. I have a content div wrapped around a left floated image and a right floated table. I want the table to dictate the height to the content div instead of popping out of the bottom of the content div. Seems pretty simple but too complicated for me I guess. If you know how to achieve this please share. Thanks, J /*begin code*/

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
