By default, FireFox disables refresh. So unless you explicitly ask all
of your visitors to turn ON refresh, it may not have any effect.
Use javascript to refresh the content, plus add a reload link. To get
around the page being cached, use server side scripting to modify the
link used for refreshing.
<a href="thispage.asp?randomnumber=214124124">click here to refresh</a>
....is what the browser sees. But server side it looks like this:
<a href="thispage.asp?randonmuber=<%=myrandomnumber%> ">click here to
refresh</a>
That means if the user clicks the button, the browser thinks that it is
going to a different page each time and forces it to fetch the page from
the server...
