The best way to refresh my .aspx site with a Timer in C#?

Question

I have a default.aspx page that needs to be refresh every 10 sec.

My solution so far is a javascript function, but it only works in Firefox and not IE.

I'm looking for a way to handle the refresh mecanism in the default.aspx.cs page instead, with some sort of Timer.

Any good simple sugestions/hints or solutions out there that can lead me in the right direction?

Answer 1

Just use a <meta> tag in your page header to indicate automatic refresh:

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="10" />

You should only use a JavaScript refresh approach if you need to pass some information (that may have changed) back to the page on the server.
