OK.. I have a page that refreshes every 5 second, I have a td that if u dbl click it u open a menu and when u do I want the page not to refresh for 12 seconds so whoever opens that menu will have time to do what he needs..my first idea was a META tag that refreshes the page but I can't change it in any way I really wanna know if its possible to change it.. nd GetElementById or ByTagName are no gooa cause it dosen't works with META as I've seen so I tried to make a funciton with setTimeout and still no good..does anyone has any idea how to do it without making to page to reload b4 the value changes? or maybe how to change the content of a mETA tag?????
