I ahve multiple browsers on a single form (created during runtime). I need
to be able to detect all these active browsers so that I can refresh them. Any idea how to accomplish this?

Why not have the client's refresh themselves by adding the following HTML to
the page: <META Http-Equiv="Refresh" CONTENT="300"/> <lord.zol***@gmail.com> wrote in message Show quoteHide quote news:1164750163.372139.316310@h54g2000cwb.googlegroups.com... > > Bill Nguyen wrote: >> I ahve multiple browsers on a single form (created during runtime).

Great idea! However, the webpage was saved as HTML page using Mappoint COM. How can I add the <META...> line to an existing HTML document programmatically? Also, will it refresh if the new URL is same as the existing one?

ASP.NET). I'm sure there is a way, but I'm not the person to tell you what it is. As for the refresh, yes, it will act just as if the user had hit the refresh button every 5 minutes (the same page will re-load). If you wanted a re-direct to a different page, you'd write: <META Http-Equiv="Refresh" CONTENT="300;URL=someNewURL" /> Show quoteHide quote "Bill Nguyen" <billn_nospam_please@jaco.com> wrote in message news:e0Gxys0EHHA.3660@TK2MSFTNGP06.phx.gbl... > Scott; > > Great idea! > However, the webpage was saved as HTML page using Mappoint COM.

For clarity, please confirm the following: If I want the browser to refresh the same document (being opened), the syntax is: <META Http-Equiv="Refresh" CONTENT="300" /> If I want to redirect to a new URL, the syntax is: <META Http-Equiv="Refresh" CONTENT="300;URL=someNewURL" /> I'll check on how to add this line to an existing HTML file programmatically.
