Why are you sticking on javascript. You can do this without Javascript too. <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="2;url=http://path/to/the/page" />

Hi Its working good is there any advantage of using this in meta tag instead of using in javascript

If the user has javascript disabled this will continue to work :)

Quick and dirty:

setTimeout( function() {
    location.reload()
}, 120000);

Though I think there could possibly be a fancier way of doing this, this is just what I know though.

I recommend looking into doing it with ajax. Look at the jQuery library, or any of the JavaScript libraries.

      <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="n">

What if your client doesn't have javascript e.g feature phone browsers? Put that in the head folder of your HTML header. n is the number of seconds for the refresh intervals.

The easiest way I found out which is also javascript proof.

This code goes in between the HEAD tags.

<META HTTP-EQUIV="refresh" CONTENT="15">

The above code reloads the page every 15 seconds. Change 15 to the desired value as required. For eg; 300 for a page to reload every 5 minutes.
