Hi all,

I'm sorry about the seemingly simple question, but I can't for the life of me (and three other people I've asked here at work) what the problem is....

Here's my basic test HTML page (test.html):

<html>
  <head>
    <meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="5;url=test.html">
      <script>
        var cur = 5;
        function start() {
          cur--;
          window.setTimeout("start();", 1000);
          document.getElementById("test").innerHTML = cur;
       }
      </script>
    </head>
    <body onload="start();"><span id="test"></span></body>
</html>


As you can see, it's got a basic countdown that gets displayed on the page and the page should refresh after 5 seconds (To another page - just in this case it's the same page).

What my question has to with is the META tag.

The refresh works fine in Firefox. I can see nothing wrong with the code, but the refresh does nothing when I try it in Internet Explorer...

Is there something I'm doing wrong that's blatantly obvious? Is it just me? Smiley
