Refresh Question

[iamrussell]

Does anybody know a way to have a one-time refresh happen right when a page loads?

In other words have it set to "0" but have it refresh just the one time when the page loads.

Out of curiiosity WHY would you want to do that?

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0">

Place in head, set number to seconds, I think!
0 = zero LOL
1 = 1 second
2 = 2 seconds <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="2">

Thanks, but with that code it will costantly be reloading in a loop. I need it to reload just once.

This is for a form page. I need it to refresh so that it erases any previous info.

What is your current form written in? is it a simple HTML form or does it use server-side scripting?
Are you submitting the form to a form processing script (ASP, CGI, PHP)?

Any additional information would be useful.

Well, it's all php. I was hoping there would be a way to do it with meta in the head section but I dodn't think there is a way to have it refresh just once. Cos once the page refreshed it would say "Hey, I gotta refresh again!"
