hi all -

our apps use long response pages all over the shop, and we've had a few
reports of users getting stuck on them. after mucho debugging we've
discovered that wonderful IE (7+) has an option to disable meta refresh, and
various reports on the intertubes that it's disabled by default in various
versions.

i normally get annoyed with IE browsers wanting to warn about every minor
glitch on a page ("HEY, just in case you're interested there is a js
variable undefined on this page that you're never gonna use, but i thought
i'd tell you about it anyway, just to get in the way and make your life a
little less productive. ok?"), but with this one IE does just the opposite:
nothing at all. you hit the long response page and sit there...

anyway, i've been googling around for solutions and turned up nothing. i
guess the options are either to detect they have it turned off (which
appears to be impossible), or use another form of refresh.

anyone bumped into this one before ? any hints on solutions ?

thanks, simon
