add the no cache headers if you want to pull a fresh copy every refresh...

<meta http-equiv="Pragma" content="no-cache">
<meta http-equiv="Expires" content="-1">
<meta http-equiv="Cache-Control" content="no cache">

First of all, lets look at WHY you're wanting to force a page refresh. If it's a part of a coding process for something like a chat application, then you'll want to do this in the script or program, not in the HTML.

If it's for another reason (page has been moved), you'll probably want to look at using .htaccess instead of the meta refresh.

I can't think of a good reason to use meta-refresh unless you don't have access to server-side processing.

You could also try use javascript to refresh the page. (more logic and calculation can be done)

What's the ideal page refresh time...

What's the ideal page refresh time can be used in html.

i'm not sure about how that tag works but if it does refresh every 15 seconds then it probably would show the changes
