Generically, add the following tag to the header of your page:
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="x" > where 'x' is the number of seconds between refreshes. IE 6 doesn't seem to respect values greater than 3600, so if you need to refresh every hour (seems unlikely), you need to use javascript. There's a good example <a href="http://grizzlyweb.com/webmaster/javascri....

Hi,

thanks for this question. Made me research the topic and I found some interesting stuff. But first, it is not possible in IE to do this. At least not out of the box. But I found this::
RefreshBar at http://www.refreshbar.com/ It is not free but it only cost $4.25. I downloaded the free trial version which is without limitations. It will expire in ... well, it doesn't say when. Anyway, I think it is a nice tool and it will hoepfully do the job for you.

You set the time in seconds and press the button to start refreshing! Need IE 4.0 or higher. I tested it with IE 7 Beta 3. Works without problems.

Hope this helped.

Cheers

Peter
