Compact Web Interface Browser Refresh

Hi

I am using compact web service. I checked "Compact web interface: force browser to refresh content every" option and set it 30 sec. The main page of the interface works good and refreshes as desired. However, the page that is my concern is a VIEW. In this View page, the browser does not refresh. Is this expected or something like a bug?

Thanks.

I am not sure is this a bug either

Web Service uses HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" code for list of tests displayed by compact and tiny interface when URL contains &refresh=1 parameter.
You may add this parameter manually. However if you open/close your browser often its not convenient... in such case we can modify Web Service.

Hi Alex

I added &refresh=1 at the end of the URL. Now, it is working as my wish.

However, I would like this feature because the compact web interface is very useful for me (even on the desktop). For this purpose, I found a tiny browser and opened compact web interface in it . Also, I found a small freeware utility, called Always On Top Maker, that makes this tiny browser "always on top". Now, the compact web interface with a HM view showing New (or unacknowledged) tests is always open on my desktop.

Another unexpected behavior; when &refresh=1 is added to the URL, the web interface don't take the refresh interval value from "Compact web interface: force browser to refresh content every", but from "Regular web interface: force browser to refresh content every". Something may be fixed.
