I don't know of anyway to do it automatically, but you could always hit the F5 key to manually refresh it.

Send a message via AIM to Xayd
Code:
< html >
< head >
< meta http-equiv="refresh" content="# the time in seconds between refreshes;url=http://web.page.com/blah" > 
< /html >
Cut and paste that as a blank HTML file, removing the spaces and inputting your # value and the correct URL.

You will have to do it like this:

Type this out in your notepad:



<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled</title>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="15;url=mysecret.html">
</head>

<frameset rows="1%,*">
<frame name="top" src="about:blank" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" scrolling="no" frameborder="0">
<frame name="bottom" src="http://forum.pcmech.com/" marginwidth="10" marginheight="10" scrolling="auto" frameborder="0">
</frameset>

</html>





And save it to a file called mysecret.html (on your desktop)

Double click your index.html
As you can see; the file will refresh itself every 15 seconds; at which time it will pull the URL (forum.pcmech.com in this case) for you

The only issue is that some sites have scripts that will break out of frames from another site. If this happens you cannot use this script.

Turn off the sound too. Every time it refreshes, you will get a click.

Ok I am a little confused as to where I am putting it. I am running win 98 se with int exp. Now I want 2 different sites to refresh when I am at them (http://forum.pcmech.com/usercp.php?s=) and (http://www.kingsofchaos.com/profile.php?id=357807). I got that I write it in notepad but where do I put it and I want it to refresh lets say every 90 secs. And it would be helpful if all I have to do is cut and paste so if I have to input something else into it make sure you tell me where to get the info to put in and where it goes exactly.
