Adding Refresh tags



You can use the Refresh tag to instruct Web browsers to refresh the contents of your Web page or replace your page with another page after a specified interval. You may want to use this tag if your page contains live material or if it's part of a slide show that you are presenting to viewers.

You can easily create a slide show by adding a Refresh tag to each page that's part of the slide show. For example, you can add a Refresh tag to the first page of the slide show that replaces the first page with the second page, and so on.

To add a Refresh tag:

1 Drag the Refresh icon from the Head tab of the Objects palette to the head section pane of your document window.


2 Choose Window > Inspector.

3 In the Refresh Inspector, for Delay, enter a value in seconds to specify an interval before the page is refreshed or replaced with another page.

4 Do one of the following:

  • Select Target This Document to refresh the current page.
  • Select Target URL to replace the page with another page. Then select a replacement page using the Point and Shoot button (), or the Browse button.


  • Setting Up Pages > Adding head tags > Adding Refresh tags
