I know this script is somewhat old, and if I knew more about JS I would code one myself, but would it be possible to change it so it could do the same on any page instead of just timed out ones? I had a look at the source but as I said I do not know much about JS. One of the problems I have seen with most refreshers is it works until you stop it instead of only going a certain amount of times. Since this script seems a bit more simple than extensions such as reload every and it could possibly achieve the desired function by changing one or 1 lines of code vs adding many lines of code.

Brilliant idea and works perfectly. Cheers!

Sorry for the horribly delayed reply... the reason for the * is that greasemonkey filters at the web-adress level and not at the resulting page. This means that if not all webadresses are included (hence the *) the resulting error page will not have the script applied to it. Therefore all adresses must be included but only when the error page is returned in the address bar should the script do anything. That way the script always runs when you need it most!

Very nice!

Just one question: why does it have a * for the website address and then do a substr as the first line?
