This can be done...sort of.

Put this code in between your <HEAD> </HEAD> tags: -

<META HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" CONTENT="X">

This means that the page will automatically refresh every X seconds (just change the X to suit your needs.

However, this may not be exactly what you're looking for, and it could alse be distracting for the visitor to your Website.

This is a better tag. Again, put this code in between your <HEAD> </HEAD> tags: -

<META HTTP-EQUIV="PRAGMA" CONTENT="NO-CACHE">

This would force the browser NOT to cache the page where the code has been inserted, therefore always displaying the most recently updated version.

Hope that helps!

You need to use javascript. This allows you to access the onClick event of the button, and you need to assign a javascript action to this.

The magic is

self.location = "thispage.htm";

where you replace thispage.htm with the resolved url to your page. This will reload the page.

So you end up with something like

<FORM>

<INPUT type="button" value="See Some Text" name="button2" onClick="self.location = 'thispage.htm'; return true">

</FORM>

<a href="JavaScript: location.reload(true);">Refresh page</a>

<input type="button" value="Refresh page" onclick="location.reload(true);" />
