If you are developing and testing in Firefox  there s a plug-in called  ReloadEvery  is available  which allows you to reload the page at the specified intervals

A decent alternative if you re using firefox is the XRefresh plugin  It will reload your page everytime it detect the file has been modified  So rather than just refreshing every 5 seconds  it will just refresh when you hit save in your HTML editor

Answer provided by  jAndy should work but in Firefox you may face problem  window location reload 1   might not work  that s my personal experience   So i would like to suggest   setTimeout function     window location window location   5000     This is tested and works fine

setTimeout function      location reload 1      5000     But as development tools go  you are probably better off with https   addons mozilla org en-US firefox addon 115

To reload the same page you don t need the 2nd argument  You can just use     lt meta http-equiv  refresh  content  30    gt    This triggers a reload every 30 seconds

This will work on 5 sec   5000 milliseconds   5 seconds  Use this with target  self or what ever you want and what ever page you want including itself    lt script type  text javascript  gt  function load     setTimeout  window open  http   YourPage com     self      5000      lt  script gt   lt body onload  load    gt     Or this with automatic self and no target code with what ever page you want  including itself    lt script type  text javascript  gt  function load     setTimeout  location href    http   YourPage com     5000      lt  script gt   lt body onload  load    gt     Or this if it is the same page to reload itself only and targeted tow hat ever you want    lt script type  text javascript  gt  function load     setTimeout  window open self location    self      5000      lt  script gt   lt body onload  load    gt    All 3 do similar things  just in different ways
