Hi all,

I'm having a problem on a user page that can be easily resolved if the user just refreshes their page -- but rather than ask someone to do that each time, I'm wondering if there's a way to automatically do it.

So essentially, this is what I want:

1. User reaches specific page
2. Page immediately reloads once when it's first visited

Any ideas?

Thanks

can be done with javascript, but there must be a better way!

What is the problem?

hmmm.. why the page have to be reloaded???

I'll try to describe the issue best as I can.

There is a google api map on the user page that doesn't load properly the first time out. If you refresh it, it loads fine. The map shows up missing markers and partially grayed out... which is why it needs the refresh.

So I don't really know a better way to do it other than to force a refresh... I've had a few programmers try to fix the problem in the map itself to no avail, so now I'm looking for a workaround.

Thanks for the help

Well!

It can be done with javascript, and it's the best way. I had this problem a few years ago, and I can't remeber the javascript code, and where I got it.

But correct me if I'm wrong. I'm almost 100% sure that you can't do it with oure html.

I found this thread though:

I believe this can solve your problem.

You can easily do this using the meta tag.

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0"> <-- This will refresh immediately.
