refresh page

[Guest]

Let me just start by saying taken over someones else code that they wrote just for them to understand(no comments, documentation NOTHING) is a task on in itself.
anyway, i have a page that needs to be refreshed every 10 seconds but not looses the item selected in the drop down, how and can it be done?

example:
drop down
user selects Football
i want all the scores to be refreshed every 10 seconds but not loose football as the selection. Currently if i pick football and the page refreshed it goes to the default which is baseball, it needs to stay on football if thats what im looking at.

thx

Use a javascript to postback the page every 10 seconds.

You can do this by having the Page Post Back to itself using JavaScript.
Example:

<script type="text/javascript"><!--
function postBack()
{
document.forms[0].submit();
}
setTimeOut("postBack()", 10000); // milliseconds: 10000 = 10 seconds
// --></script>
