I'm trying to keep a web site refreshed every 10 mins without sitting and watching it. Any programs or widgets that can help?? thanks
 
hm...

Code: 
<meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="600;URL=/index.html" />
in the header?

sorry.. where is the header?
Click to expand...
It's at the top of the html page

e.g.
Code: 
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
        "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head>
	<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
	<title>Untitled</title>
</head>
<body>

</body>
</html>

Anything between the <head> and </head> is &#8220;in the header&#8221;.
 
Is this for a webpage YOU'RE in control of (ie, you built it and host it somewhere), or are you trying to refresh a regular internet website, say, cnn.com, at a specified interval?

If the latter, you cannot edit the header yourself. You will have to resort to other measures to have the page refresh at some interval.
 
... such as the firefox extension "ReloadEvery"... Firefox 2.0 only. If you're interested in a home-grown approach how about an Applescript like this:

Code: 
repeat
    tell application "Safari"
        do JavaScript "location.reload(true)" in document 1
    end tell
    delay 600
end repeat
