Due to web-browser quirks, I've run into a small design dilema and am wondering if anyone has any clever ideas. What I want is once the document is completely loaded, html & images, I want the screen to refresh once. It is quite easy to simply call the windows.history.go(0) function, but it ends up refreshing indefinately. Could a cookie work to save a variable? I have very limited Javascript knowledge, so I'm not sure myself what can be done.

-> you should have asked this question in the javascript forum where you'd have get a faster or more accurate answer ;-)
-> still ... you can catch the event "onload" (in the body tag), that fires when the page is loaded :
<body onload="javascript:some_function()">
-> now to reload a page, the javascript function is reload() [reload(true) will force the reload]
-> so now you can write :
<body onload="javascript:window.location.reload()">
[if you use reload(true) your page will refresh indefinately]
