    Not AJAX.

    You would do it this way...

    
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="5">
</head>
</html>
    Code (markup):
    Now the problem with this is that the server returns a 200 (page OK)... this can be used by BlackHat SEO's to get more 'inbound' links to their page by having a lot of different sites with a refresh of '0' all going to one place.

    There are other ways to do refreshes with PHP, ASP, JAVASCRIPT, ColdFusion, etc... that would be a better example... but for the very simple, the META tag is the way to go.

window.location='ifr.htm';
}
setTimeout("refreshme()",1);
</script>
