I you mean something that you enable which reloads the page every 'x'
seconds, it is standard in Opera and I've used that. Unfortunately it can
be a bit annoying.. you don't want the reloading to often, and not to
selldom. So it would be nice if the reload could be triggered somehow.
When editing pages from Emacs/pmwiki-mode, I can have Emacs send a command
to the browser which makes it reload the page. This can easily be made
to happen each time a page is saved if you'd like that. I'm hoping
something similar is possible for when you click 'Save and edit'.
