How can I set the browser to refresh automatically without losing viewstate

[john]

From my code behind file, I can put a line like this in order to make
the page automatically refresh every minute:

Response.AppendHeader("Refresh", 60);

But the viewstate of the controls is lost when I do this (as opposed
to when the page posts back when I click on a button on the page, in
which case the viewstate is preserved). Is there another way to do an
automatic refresh?

thanks in advance.

use a javascript client-side time to do a form.submit() over 60 seconds.

Can you please give me an example how to do this? I am new at
javascript. I have tried putting the following function calls in
javascript for my page and they all cause exceptions (with the form
object being undefined or null):

this.submit();
form.submit();
document.form.submit();
document.forms[0].submit();
document.theform.submit();
document.myform.submit();

thanks

I'd suggest a jscript group but.....something like this perhaps

yourFormname is the name in the <FORM...> tag
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
setTimeout(yourFormname.submit(),6000);
</SCRIPT>
