If <meta> is deprecated for automatic updates, what should I use?

I used <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="5">some time to automatically refresh my pages, and then found that updating the click before 5 seconds occurred caused automatic updating to fail, at least in IE8.

So, I decided to research the tag <meta>and found, according to Wikipedia: "Auto-update through the META element has been outdated for more than ten years [5] and before that it was recognized as problematic."

So, what SHOULD be used to automatically refresh my pages? (I assume it will be a javy scripty kinda thingy.)

Thanks for the bundles in advance !!!!

Depending on the content that is being updated, the “new standard” is to use AJAX behind the scenes to poll / update content and keep browsing history in tact.
