Options:
o Have the CGI script which processes the form return an HTML
document
o Use one of the browser APIs which are now available to force the
browser to reload (CCI should be able to do this soon, I think the
Netscape one can do it now.)
See <http://yahoo.ncsa.uiuc.edu/mosaic/cci.spec>
<http://home.netscape.com/info/APIs/>
o NCC added some (IMHO atrocious) hacks to the last version of
Netscape to allow "dynamic documents" which allows you to reload
documents periodically.
