Wow, thanks for the quick response. This sounds better because I
wanted it to only refresh if there has been a change. But it still
has to be in an I-Frame or should you be typing in the chat input box
and the page refreshes, it's a no no.
But--how do I insert the meta-refresh tag in the header without using
a whole new skin? It would be nice if a directive could be set to do
that... My current solution involves javascript with settimeout and
window.location. Actually, I suppose it too will first check to see if
updated and then reload from cache if possible.

To change the contents of an I-Frame from outside that frame, you have
to set the target. I've just looked over the PmWiki doc's on links
and there doesn't seem to be any parameter for specifying a target
window...
