I have a countdown ticker at the bottom of the screen in an Iframe that I want to refresh every 5 seconds or so to keep it up-to-date. However the problem is that by using an html auto refresh script it makes the Back button of IE useless because upon hitting the back button the main page stays as it is and only the Iframe refreshes. you have to hit the back button the same number of times that the Iframe had autorefreshed to cause the main page to go back to the previous page.

Can anybody help me with this? This is the only irritant preventing me from being able to publish my website. (I use Microsoft Frontpage)

JavaScript countdown tickers don't have the back-button problems you're describing.
