hecster2k Nervous Wreck (II) Inmate From: sj, ca, usa Insane since: Feb 2002	posted 03-01-2002 18:20 If you do a window.open, then minimize it, then try to refresh it, is there any way to do this without having the window pop back up? What i'm trying to do is set an autorefresh on a window i opened, but don't want it to keep popping up every couple of minutes. need to check for new updates to the page automatically, yet keep it minimized so i can do what i'm doing without having to keep getting interrupted. the more i hang around in this crazy home, the harder i find it to hang onto my sanity...

hecster2k Nervous Wreck (II) Inmate From: sj, ca, usa Insane since: Feb 2002	posted 03-01-2002 23:45 this is what i'm doing now currently. problem is, everytime the refresh comes around, it brings the window back up. this becomes annoying after a while if i'm busy typing emails and documents all day long and this window keeps stealing the focus. this is why i was wondering if it can refresh and stay minimized? the more i hang around in this crazy home, the harder i find it to hang onto my sanity...

Use meta tags to refresh the page periodically. It should refresh whether the window is minimized or not.
