Answer 1

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

Answer 2

 <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="5; URL=http://www.yourdomain.com/yoursite.html"&gt;

If it has to be in the script use setTimeout like:

setTimeout(function(){
   window.location.reload(1);
}, 5000);

Kind Regards

Answer 3

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 4

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.
