Auto-Refresh Page Only Once

[ankitmathur]

Hi Fellow Members,

I want to know if HTML provides any way of refreshing a page only once automatically.

My requirement is to refresh a page automatically only once after 2 minutes to display an updated data.

Henceforth, the page should not refresh anymore.

Can anyone suggest me some ways to do it.

Thanks

No, not for a one time basis.

Not back to the same page without either using JavaScript or turning the page into a script.

If you put refresh in a meta element into the HTML back to the same HTML page then every 2 minutes it'll be refreshed.

Using either JavaScript or turning the page into a script. Pass a name value pair on the query string or a cookie (but remember some people may have turned cookies off or only accept from certain sites). If you don't have the value write the meta element. If you do have the value don't write the meta element.
