Page auto-refresh and javascript

Lew
Hi all,

I'm trying to create a page that has a user-selectable page auto-refresh
option (IE 5.5). Essentially, it's a page that contains a checkbox, when
the user checks the checkbox, I'd like the page to auto-refresh every 4
seconds....if the user un-checks the checkbox, I'd like to turn off the auto
refresh.

The page is as follows:

<HTML>
<HEAD>

<%

String action = request.getPara meter("chkRefre sh");
String refreshCmd = "";

if (action != null) {
refreshCmd = "setInterval('w indow.location. reload()', 4000);";
} else {
refreshCmd = " ";
action = "off";
}

%>

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaS cript"><!--

<%=refreshCmd %>

function setAutoRefresh( ) {
data.submit();
}

//-->
</SCRIPT>

<TITLE>test.jsp </TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<FORM NAME="data" ACTION="test.js p" METHOD="post">

<% if (action.equalsI gnoreCase("off" )) { %>
<P><INPUT type="checkbox" name="chkRefres h"
onclick="setAut oRefresh()">Aut o Refresh OFF</P>
<%} else {%>
<P><INPUT type="checkbox" name="chkRefres h" onclick="setAut oRefresh()"
checked>Auto Refresh ON</P>
<% } %>

</FORM>
</BODY>
</HTML>
This works in that it turns the auto-refresh on when the user checks the
"Auto Refresh" checkbox...howe ver, I keep getting the following pop-up
message:

"The page cannot be refreshed without resending the information. Click Retry
to send the information again, or click Cancel to return to the page that
you were trying to view"

Is there anyway to avoid the above pop-up?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

It the form method "post" that is causing that message to appear. If
you set it to "get", or do not define it, then that message will not
appear.

<FORM NAME="data" ACTION="test.js p" METHOD="get">

or

<FORM NAME="data" ACTION="test.js p">

The trade off is that the "chkRefresh " field will now be appended to
the url.

best,
jon

I need to set the page title for a content page in a master page, and do that using local reources so that I can have my page title in different languages. I can do that easily using global resources by explicitly setting the value of the Page, but I want to use local resources as a standard. Thank you.
