IE Click on page load
IE has a function built in to it that "clicks" when a page or frame is loaded or a form is submited.
I have a couple of applications that use a hidden frame that refreshes every x seconds to check for information.
I was using http refresh meta tags to get these frames to reload without causing that lovely click.
I just installed IE 5.5 to test my site and it appears that Microsoft now generates a click even when you use the refresh meta tag.
Is there any way to set a no-click option on your page to prevent this annoying click. I want to be able to disable the click on certain pages.
Anyone have any solutions???
Thanks

Hi Taz,
Not having any idea of the function you are talking about...
What does it do?
What value is it returning or setting? if boolean, try setting the opposite.
You might be able to set up a do nothing handler --
myfunc = IEclick;
function myfunc()
{
; //that's a semi-colon
}
The idea is the event (whose name you didn't specify) is rerouted to a donothing function. If the semi-colon doesn't work, try returning false or true.

He's not talking about a function.
In IE 5.5, every time you click on a link/go to another page or something, Microsoft has programmed in a small 'click' sound file that plays after these events.
I don't notice--I always have the computer muted and my Diamond Rio on.

Taz, if that's the case (and you want to save your user's ears), you have 2 choices (neither of them good, but...)
1)Microsoft's online workshop: http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/author/default.asp
2)locate the file in your hard drive, make a 'dead' sound wav file with the same name, upload the new file to your site's directories -- there's a chance that M$ uses a path command similar to DOS's for IE's files and if so, it will search in the current directory first.
Of course, if IE's beep()ing instead of using a *.wav....
