page refresh
I have been playing around with a guestbook script recently. I am using META tags to always refresh the document when it relodads. Is there another way I can do this without META tags?

Is the page cgi or static. What is your concern, do you wish to have the page refreshed every time it loads?
One method I have used is to have the document do a resubmit once when it loads. This assumes you have a cgi based document.

Tazman: the page is an ASP document with an include file which contains the guestbook. It works fine with META tags - I was just wondering if there was an alternative?

Well, if thge meta tags are working...ya know the saying.....if it aint....
Anyway, I had a similar issue when using dynamically created html from cgi. The meta tags were not sufficient to ensure a clean load (especially if the user used the back button) so I have to go to an automatic resubmit on load or reload so I was assured of a good page.
