I doubt this, but is there any way to determine via PHP if a browser was refreshed automatically via a META tag vs the person clicking the refresh button?

You could embed something in the META tag's URL such as: <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="5;http://example.com?from_meta_tag=1" > You would then need to re-direct back to the URL *without* the GET parameter from_meta_tag=1 so that their refresh button would not be going to that URL with from_meta_tag in it. Kind of kludgy, but should work

Do you guys read other replies first before making a reply yourself? You're the third one making the same reply... Tijnema

No, this is a test and we shouldn't look off other's test sheets -- that would be cheating. Cheers, tedd -- ------- http://sperling.com http://ancientstones.com http://earthstones.com
