asp_web_howto thread: auto refresh for database data

Hopefully this is a relatively easy one...I have an ASP page that pulls
data in from a database based on a date that is selected in a drop-down
menu. If the user selects the current date, I need the page to
automatically refresh every 30 seconds (if they choose a date other than
the current date, this is not needed). I've set up a simple if-then-else
statement to Response.Write a meta refresh tag if the current date is
chosen. This all works fine, but here's the issue...if the user selects
the current date, every time the page refreshes I get an alert that
prompts the user to hit OK to re-send the form data. I need the page to
just refresh and not force someone to hit OK every 30 seconds. Is anyone
aware of any other alternatives? Thanks in advance!

Hi,
For autorefresh,if u r not posting a lot of data
to the other form..it would be a better idea to use
the form method as get than post.
Hope this helps
