Hi all,

I have a web page which is refreshing itself every 10 seconds:

<head>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="10">
</head>

It works fine as long as I stay in Pocket Internet Explorer.

But when I leave Pocket IE and start e.g. the File Explorer, browse
through my PDA via the File Explorer and then after a while return to
PIE, the automatic refresh does not happen any more, I have to press
the refresh button in the menu bar in order to reactivate the
automatic refresh again.

I made the experience that I need to switch to file explorer longer
than the time specified in the meat tag, so in the above example if I
leave the PIE for more than 10 seconds and then return to it, the
automatic refresh is not working anymore.

Cheers, Stefan

Does it work if you use the correct mata tag syntax of

<meta http-equiv="refresh"
content="10;url=http://path/to/my/file/html">

I'll hav a go later and see if I can repro your problem. Which browser
/ OS are you using, WM2002 or WM2003 ?
