There are all kinds of work arounds, so I don't see a whole lot of value in them coding around meta refresh. However, this is IE we're talking about here, so it's no surprise that it includes extremely stupid features while totally ignoring others (better understanding of CSS positioning for instance) Thanks for the info though, I thought I was going crazy.

Thanks for the info though, I thought I was going crazy.

The page reloads and breaks, in my experience. Our site uses the META refresh with a url with a query string to update a page from a db. The page updates fine in Firefox but fails to reload in IE, even though meta refresh is enabled in the security settings of IE. If I remove the query string from the meta entry the page refreshes in IE but with no point since it no longer has the query string to update the page with new information. Any idea on how to make meta refresh work in IE with a query string? The JavaScript method does not work if you have a query string after the url. The page reloads and breaks, in my experience.
