Hi everyone,

Today I was viewing some news through [news.google.com...] and noticed that while reading the page it all of a sudden refreshed on me causing it to loose the headline I had been reading.

I checked my browser (Opera 5.12) and made sure Javascript was turned off. It was. I also looked through the page source code and did not see anything that would indicate how Google was able to do this.

Does anyone have any idea how Google was able to force refresh the page I was looking at? Even while Javascript was turned off in my browser?

Thanks.

Carlos
