Auto refreshing the page when it is visited after some duration of time

Question

Can it be possible to auto-refresh a page when visiting to its tab after some duration of time. I am asking in the case of opening many tabs in the browser and the tab where our web page is running need to be auto-refreshed when coming back to it from the other tab

bind a variable to window.onblur and then use wondow.onfocus to check for that variable and refresh the page — Pete, Jul 31 '15 at 11:04

Below code will do the trick

$(window).on('focus', function() { 
    /*your code*/
    setTimeout(function(){
        location.reload();//will reload your page
    },1000); //duration
});
