HTML Help

I am trying to do a auto refresh of a webpage using a local HTML file, using

meta http-equiv="refresh" content="10,examplewebsite"

However, after the first refresh, it goes to the website instead and stops refreshing. How do I achieve it then?

What you might want is using an iframe to contain your example website in your local html web page and using javascript to create the iframe every few seconds since your example webpage is likely going to be in a different domain

Maybe you might want to explain why do you need to keep reloading a particular webpage? In any case, the method I propose wouldn’t work for some websites because there are numerous websites today that will response with X-Frame-Orgin header that will deny browsers from opening the site in a frame depending on accessing origin or just plain deny.

There could be a better way of handling your case if you explain what you are trying to achieve.

The reason why your method doesn’t work for more than once is simply your browser is opening a new location, hence the website markup will totally replace the browser or tab. There are cross domain restrictions at play for modern browsers and it wouldn’t be a simple solution in a lot of cases.

Hmmm notice it is another poster replying. In any case, the same reply from me to whomever wanted a solution to TS problem.

Just use the chrome auto refresh extension
