META refresh

Can I use it to simply force a page refresh?

This may sound silly, but the only time I have seen META refresh used is to redirect the visitor to a new page.

Is it possible to just use this (with out the url=) to force a refresh of the current page?

If not, what can I do to force a refresh of the page without the visitor doing anything?

TIA

Yep.

This one's nice and easy. I'll give you the code. Copy and paste it into the document you wish to reload. Once in there, change the number of seconds you wish the page to wait before starting the reloading process. This code goes in between the HEAD tags.

<META HTTP-EQUIV="refresh" CONTENT="15">

Is your goal to refresh it just once or to keep refreshing it every x seconds?
