page refresh

[D]

What is the best way to ensure that the viewer is seeing the most updated
version of your webpage or website withough having to count on them clicking
the refresh button? I have been using <meta http-equiv="expires" content =
"0">
but I'm not really sure this is the best way to do it.

Thanks,
D

My understanding is that none of these work all the time, but here's what I
use:

<meta http-equiv="cache-control" content="no-cache">

What is a good code to cause the page to automatically refresh every 60
seconds? Please make sure this works for a page that has top and left
borders.

Thanks for your help!

How to automatically refresh a page or redirect to another page?

In HTML view, add the following to the Head section:

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="6; URL=http://www.yourwebsite.com">


The value given to 'content' is the number of seconds before the refresh
will take place; the value given to 'URL' is the page you want your visitor
sent to. You may also want to include a text link to the page in case your
visitor's browser does not support the 'refresh'.

Are you sure that refreshes every 60 seconds? How would I adjust it to 30
seconds?

OK, it refreshes after the first 30 seconds now. However, it only refreshes
once. How do I get it to refresh after EVERY 30 seconds?

content="6 will refresh every 6 seconds; you need to change it to
content="30

I'm not sure why it wouldn't refresh over and over - can you post a link to
the page where you added the code?
