you could build a framepage
and refresh a frame (theirs) from another hidden one(yours)

something like:

function reload1(){
document.parent .frame[1].location.reloa d()
setTimeout("rel oad1()",300000)
}
setTimeout("rel oad1()",300000)

not tested !!!

It's not javascript and I don't know which browsers support it but
you can put the following in the header:

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="600">

You can also use the meta tag in the head ie. <meta http-equiv="refresh"
content="number of seconds"; url="nextpage.h tml>"

Refreshing an entire page on an interval doesn't require scripting it can
be accomplished with a straight HTML META tag, the exact syntax of which
escapes me at the moment.

<META REFRESH='60000' > Something like that. Anyone have the exact syntax?
