WML/XML Page Refresh

[kylebellamy]

I've been crusing the Google spawned listings for info on the </refresh> tag for a WML site I'm developing in conjunction with the Nextel Blackberrys and I found tons of references as to how to write the script so that it will refresh in a given time period but what none of them actually mention is what that time period is.

For instance:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
  <!DOCTYPE wml PUBLIC "-//WAPFORUM//DTD WML 1.1//EN" "[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.wapforum.org/DTD/wml_1.1.xml">[/URL]
  <wml>
    <card id="loop" ontimer="loop.wml">
      <timer value="40"/>
      <p>This text will be shown over and over again...</p>
    </card>
  </wml>

Is that 40 seconds?

And on that theme, can I get the page to refresh just the text and links and use the cached images? This will be mainly for the index but as I add sections, I want the users to see them. On other pages like ones that have reviews, for instance, there is a refresh link right at the top of the page and very little graphics to slow loading down.

Thanks in advance.

Probably a question for the WML forum: forum658

Thanks for that. I had browsed and didn't see that one. However, this does fall under Web Design too so I think that's why I gravitated to this forum instead.
