Reloading image on a page every minute.

I've got a live camera image I'd like to make the browser window reload
the pic or at least the whole page every few minutes. What's the best
way to do this?

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="15; URL=this.html">




or


<script>
function reload() {
location = "this.html"
}
setTimeout("reload()", 1000);
</script>

<p>Images are updated every minute. You may want to reload.</p>

Thanks Disco! Actually, seems all I need is:

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="15">

Actually, you may want to test that in some browsers, aas it 'may' break the
back button. good luck.

What if your visitor doesn't want it to reload that often? (Think:
dial-up, or people using IE with more than one window open[1]). Plus,
some browsers have the option to disable meta refresh.

Won't work for around 15% of your visitors.

To the OP: Much as you might not like it, Leif's solution is both the
best for your visitors and the most reliable.


[1] I hate the way IE brings the window to the front when a page
finishes loading.

Whoops, almost forgot - it breaks the back button too (thanks Disco).
