At the top, in your header place:

Code:
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="200">

"200" would be the number of seconds you want it to refresh. So if you wanted your page to refresh every 5 minutes, replace the 200 with 300.

The htx file that builds the page of your site is "usa.htx".  Add the meta refresh tag in the header of that one.  That way when usa.htx writes to your index.htm file, it's there.

Abe,
If you put your web address in your profile (there's a field for it), or in your signature, or worst case just in the post you are asking the question, it would help a lot in helping you with future site questions....

Nothing personal, but I hate when websites automatically refesh while I'm viewing them...just my opinion.
