Hmm, I thought I posted this last week. I received no replies and do
not see it listed, so maybe it never made it.
I have a couple of php scripts running that allow users on line to
enter brief lines of text, chat style. When they are posting a line
of text and an auto-refresh command is executed, Internet Explorer
users lose the line they were in the middle of typing. I was
researching how to stop the auto-refresh if the form post box was in
use and found some reference to a "pause button" that can be placed on
the user side as HTML. Anyone know about this ?

Hi,
If are using <meta type="refresh" content="[seconds];[URL]"> then this
is an element of the Document Object Module and can only be changed with
Javascript as PHP is not aware of any typing into the text box. This is a
PHP list so Javascrip is offtopic and this is probably why no one responded.
You might try the php_and_mysql group, they are more lenient on offtopics.
There is also a Javascript list but every post is moderated so it takes time
to get a response.
I would like to help offlist and perhaps I can over the weekend. I am flat
out right now.
Thanks.
