META HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" & IsPostBack

[chortler]

When I use the meta tag to refreh my asp webpage, it doesn't change
Ispostback to false; It always equals true?

Any ideas??

Because it is not a post. It is still just a GET of the page.

If the request being refreshed is a postback then Ispostback would be true
each time.

Not sure what you are trying to do but you can add a querystring to your
meta refresh that you can detect server side to know that it was the result
of the meta refresh and not a "new" request. You would also have to make
sure you can detect old meta refreshes that someone bookmarked.

Another approach is javascript using setTimeout and window.location along
with an added querystring you can detect serverside.

Thanks for all your help. I'll go and investigate about adding a
querystring to the code.
