Hi, what is the best way to reload a page only once when user visits it.
I tried using <META ..> but as we have to specify seconds and after that second it will be refeshed again, is no use for me.
also tried with onload function but it keeps the page busy by refreshing.

In short, when user logs/visits page it should automatically refreshed but only onece.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Rupen!!
Ofcourse you can do this with different ways.
to do so ,u need some kind of state management techniques.
if it is normal html/htm then u can use help of cookie
or if it is generated by server-side-code asp/php/aspx/jsp etc u can use
either form field,session or query string.

once a page is loaded check the value of a variable(session variable values on client side),
if it has initial value ,reload it and increment that value.

Hope this will help you,if u have any other concept plz share with us

Cheers :)

Yes it is possible, you can use a following function
window.setTimeout('CallMe()',limit);
  You can specify the time gap also to auto reload.
In this function try to load a session with that user. and load the page for every user once.
  May you got the logic..
Bye..

Hi Rupen!!

Since you want to reload the page only once. setTimeout function allows you to call "CallMe" function
after given timelimits,but how do u know whether the page should be reload or it is already reloaded.

e.g below code will reload the page in infinite times.

<script>
var i
i=0
window.setTimeout('CallMe()',1000);

function CallMe()
{
document.getElementById("mydiv").innerHTML=documen t.getElementById("mydiv").innerHTML+"--"+i
i++;
alert("j"+window.location.search);
location.href="tmp.html"

}
</script>
<div id="mydiv"></div>

here you can find out how to search a querystring .

U will have to send some info to the CallMe function ,when to reload it,for that
u have to use querystring,cookies,or if it is asp/jsp/php(server side lang) then user form fields.


Hope this will help you
