I have a standard meta refresh link from an .htm page to an .asp page, which works fine on our non-secure staging server and our non-secure test server. But on our secure test server (ie, https:// etc) it does not work - it "sticks" on the redirecting page. <br />
<br />
Anyone know why this should be? The path in the link is relative (it has to be).<br />
<br />
Going to try a javascript refresh tomorrow but don't know if this will work. <br />
<br />
Many thanks,<br />
M<!--content-->He is a JavaScript refresh:<br />

function timeReload(page) {<br />
window.setTimeout("redirect(page);", 5000); // the time is in miliseconds.<br />
}<br />
<br />

<body onLoad="timeReload('site.html');"><!--content-->Thanks Zach - that's pretty close to what's going in tomorrow - but do you know if this will work on the secure servers when the html one didn't? Also I'd love to know why the html one doesn't work.<!--content-->I have no idea if you will work or not. It might.
<!--content-->Well I'm sure you were all dying to know - it worked! <br />
<br />
The problem was that the server was running a separate refresh in the background as part of the secure time-out function. It was conflicting with my refresh. The JavaScript version is doing fine though.<!--content-->
