why doesn't JavaScript work in ASP.NET? / refreshing a page?

[Marina]

Client side javascript hasn't changed - so there is something wrong with
your javascript.

Try using a meta refresh tag to do the refresh.

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="1000">

OK, thank you, Marina,

I found my problem -- it should be setTimeout, not setTimeOut.

The latter works in IE, but I guess VS.NET enforces more strictly -- except
that when I typed the opening parenthesis, it showed the function prototype,
as if it understood setTimeOut( -- but I guess it was tricking me.

Thank you,
Laszlo
