auto refresh

[TOYr32]

Is there a way to make an internet window auto refresh if you don't do anything in it? We use netreg and it will kick you out of the program is you don't have any activity in the window for more than 10 minutes. It's a bit of a pain.

Was wondering if there is a way to auto refresh a window so that it looks like you are still active.

Thanks, I have it for firefox . . . sorry, should have specified IE. You know how some programs just look funny on firefox. So I use IE for this particular program.

So you should bitch to the programmers that created the site that they should get their heads out of their asses and realize that programming only for IE hasn't been in style for the last 5 years or so. :p

Otherwise I don't know about being able to do it in IE without changing the code of the site itself.

If you can't change the code of the page itself, then Winmacro is your friend.

You could also, provided the page doesn't break frames, write a quick web page on your local machine that loads the app into a frame and then have a javascript timeout that calls refresh on that frame.

Judging by the fact that the app doesn't work in firefox though... my confidence is low that it wouldn't act weird in a frame. Bad developers usually have many more than just a couple bad habits.
