How to Refresh HTML/CGI page every 5 seconds?
Today I was searching for page refresh after a certain activity is completed. I was running some task in say CGI 1; which uses fork() to execute another task; once this task is done CGI 1 should get refreshed or should show me the updated status which is being updated by new task.
I tried lot of other combination like calling refresh function from new task; with window.opener.refresh_fucntion(); and a lot.
Finally got the solution using meta tag of html.
Meta HTML tag,The element provides meta-information about your page
And the answer to question is just include before head element this tag;
Refresh page every 5 seconds:
and my job is done.
Thanks to meta tag.
