> I could use some help. I have a site where there's an input form that users will have to type and post in. I want to use an auto refresh, but when I try using a regular meta tag, everything that the users typed out in this form is gone if they haven't sent it. I want to do an auto refresh without having this form affected. By the way, I also want to do this only through HTML and PHP, no JavaScript. Any help and advice would be appreciated.

When you refresh, it just loads the page again. Whatever they typed will always be gone, it's like they clicked on the form again. An obvious question is why do you want to refresh a page with a form? Is this necessary? Why? Are you displaying constantly changing info that they need to have access to so they can fill it out?

My first comment would be to not refresh a form. It's not something normally done for obvious reasons. But if you really need to display constantly changing information, maybe you need to display that in an iframe that refreshes, and does not refresh the entire page.

If you can explain why you need to do this, maybe we can provide more help that suits your specific requirement.
