A:
Using javascript you could set a cookie with a "refreshed" variable in it and check if it's set, if not then refresh the page. Of course this involves quite a lot of code for setting and reading from the cookie plus the function to be called when you reload.
My approach would be url vars, then again it's php not meta tags, it would be something like this:
<?php
if($_GET['r'] != 1) header('refresh: 0; url=/index.php?r=1');
?>
Which reloads the page setting a variable in the url ,in this case r for refreshed, as true.
So the next time it loads it will not reload . It works, it's just one line of code and it will save you some coding time and get the job done.
Update: (User wanted it in asp)
Should work but I haven't tried it nor can I try it at the moment (I'm at the airport)
<%
dim refreshOnce
refreshOnce = request.querystring("r")
if refreshOnce <> 1 then Response.AddHeader "Refresh", "0;URL=/index.php?r=1"
%>

I don't work with asp but a little research helped me translate the code to the one shown up now, haven't tried it though.

A:
Javascript solution, using a form field to store the state:
<html>
<head>
<script language="javascript">
function init() {
var form = document.getElementById('theform');
var input = form.refreshed;
function reload() {
location.reload(false);
}
function isRefreshed() {
return !!input.value;
}
function doDisplay() {
var el = document.getElementById(isRefreshed() ? 'two' : 'one');
el.style.display = 'block';
}
function conditionalRefresh() {
if (!isRefreshed()) {
input.value = 'true';
setTimeout(reload, 1000);
}
}
doDisplay();
conditionalRefresh();
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload="init();">
<form id="theform">
<input type="hidden" name="refreshed" />
</form>
<div id="one" style="display: none;">
one
</div>
<div id="two" style="display: none;">
two
</div>
</body>
</html>
