I am creating a web page which will automatically refresh for every 5 minutes by default. In the page provide an option for the user to enter the time duration in which page should refresh. Say if user enters 10 mins. then page should refresh every 10th minute. If user enters 0 the page should not refresh.

Try the below approach.

XML

<html>
<head>
<title> Reload  the Page</title>
    <script type="text/javascript">


    function ref2()
    {
     var UserTime = document.getElementById("txttime").value;
      window.name = UserTime;
        ref1();

    }

    function ref1()
    {
    var time=window.name;

    if(time!="" && time!=0)
    {
    time=time*1000*60;
    setTimeout("location.reload();",time);
    alert("page reload after the " + window.name + " mins");

    }
    else if(time=="")
    {
     time=5*1000*60;
     setTimeout("location.reload();",time);
     alert("Default Reload 5 mins");

    }
    document.getElementById("txttime").value = window.name;
    }
    </script>
</head>
<body onload="return ref1()">
    <form id="form1" runat="server">
    <div>
    <table>
    <tr>
    <td>Enter the time:</td><td><input type="text" id="txttime" /></td></tr>
    <tr><td align="center"><input type="button" value="enter" id="bttme" onclick="return ref2()"; /></td></tr></table>
    </div>
    </form>
</body>
</html>
