Refresh document every 300 seconds using HTML Meta tag add this inside the head tag of the page

 <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="300">

Using Script:

            setInterval(function() {
                  window.location.reload();
                }, 300000);

The interval callback only runs once since the reloading stops any scripts from running. setTimeout would achieve the same thing. – ekuusela Apr 09 '15 at 06:12
current code works in normal and ignores post variables. can we do this with post variables? – Pradeep Kumar May 21 '15 at 05:28

Honestly this is the simplest answer out there, and doesn't require any javascript – Alex oladele Oct 09 '20 at 22:28

This is the best answer. Is it blocking in any way? It's not js but how the html page counts the content="second"? – Marco May 03 '23 at 18:22
In HTML and XHTML, one can use the meta element with the value of the http-equiv attribute set to "Refresh" and the value of the content attribute set to "0" (meaning zero seconds), followed by the URI that the browser should request. It is important that the time-out is set to zero, to avoid that content is displayed before the new page is loaded. The page containing the redirect code should only contain information related to the redirect. – Kaushik shrimali May 14 '23 at 05:26

Install an interval:

<script type="text/javascript">    
    setInterval(page_refresh, 5*60000); //NOTE: period is passed in milliseconds
</script>

Auto reload with target of your choice. In this case target is _self set to every 5 minutes.

300000 milliseconds = 300 seconds = 5 minutes

as 60000 milliseconds = 60 seconds = 1 minute.

This is how you do it:

<script type="text/javascript">
function load()
{
setTimeout("window.open('http://YourPage.com', '_self');", 300000);
}
</script>
<body onload="load()">

Or this if it is the same page to reload itself:

<script type="text/javascript">
function load()
{
setTimeout("window.open(self.location, '_self');", 300000);
}
</script>
<body onload="load()">

auto refresh for every 5 mins
