Auto Refresh in IE6
I need to force IE6 SP1 to auto refresh every 30 sec or so...
I've attempted to edit the registery, but to no avail
1.Start RegEdit; select Start, Run; type regedit; and press Enter.
2.Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\
3.Double-click UpdateMode in the right pane and set the value as 00 for autorefresh on, 01 for autorefresh off.
4.Click OK, close RegEdit (choose Registry, Exit), and restart the computer.
(Looks like it forces Windows Explorer to auto-refresh rather than Internet Explorer.)
Any other ideas, short of editing the webpage in question to enable client pull.

Telling the browser to refresh can either be done via meta tags as you mentioned:
<META HTTP-EQUIV=Refresh CONTENT="30; URL=index.html">
...or...
If you do not have edit permissions on the file then try setting a batch job to poll it for you, or maybe a static local html file with frames that calls the remote page to refresh x amount of seconds. ( i think that will work) What OS are you running? A dos batch should do the trick with minimal pains.

Alrighty, I'm running NT4...
So how would I set a local batch file to poll the webpage?

Well... Teasing me with 500 pts was not cool but when I answered the question, I realized that what I made was quite useful. It's used everyday now, here.
You're welcome.

Sorry man, the problem here was the page that I needed to refresh every 30sec, needed two buttons clicked to get me back to the status screen (it's a list of my open jobs).
In the end I used a macro program, to click the "refresh button" coded into the page, set to only run on a specific IE6 window.
But thanks for the help,
I also downloaded the latest oprea browser, but had the same problem with having to click 2 buttons to get back to the status screen,
Sorry bout the delay, thanks again.
