Re: use http-equiv to refresh the page

No, that's server push you're thinking of. NPH (non-parsed header) scripts are CGI scripts that talk directly to the client without the server parsing headers and adding others (like the one that says it's Apache). My bad. It was. But I think one needs to use NPH scripts to generate

I just wanted to mention that the meta tag as well as its http-equiv attribute are both official parts of the HTML standard and have been for quite some time. Yes and no. HTML 4.0 has a section on META and http-requiv. In it, it mentions that Some user agents support the use of META to

Is using meta tag a \bad\ approach? Yes. It\'s something that Netscape added to their browser, which others may or may not add to their browsers. It\'s not part of any HTTP spec and isn\'t guaranteed to work, even on totally correct web browsers. A meta tag is not something
