<!--
We have the "refresh" meta-tag in case the user's browser does
not correctly support JavaScript or has JavaScript disabled.

Notice that this is nested within a "noscript" block.

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="2">

<script language="JavaScript">
<!--

var sURL = unescape(window.location.pathname);

function doLoad()
{
// the timeout value should be the same as in the "refresh" meta-tag
setTimeout( "refresh()", 2*1000 );
}

function refresh()
{
// This version of the refresh function will cause a new
// entry in the visitor's history. It is provided for
// those browsers that only support JavaScript 1.0.
//
window.location.href = sURL;
}

</script>

<script language="JavaScript1.1">
<!--
function refresh()
{
// This version does NOT cause an entry in the browser's
// page view history. Most browsers will always retrieve
// the document from the web-server whether it is already
// in the browsers page-cache or not.
//
window.location.replace( sURL );
}

<script language="JavaScript1.2">
<!--
function refresh()
{
// This version of the refresh function will be invoked
// for browsers that support JavaScript version 1.2
//

// The argument to the location.reload function determines
// if the browser should retrieve the document from the
// web-server. In our example all we need to do is cause
// the JavaScript block in the document body to be
// re-evaluated. If we needed to pull the document from
// the web-server again (such as where the document contents
// change dynamically) we would pass the argument as 'true'.

window.location.reload( false );

Use the "onload" event to start the refresh process.

I appreciate your posting of the JavaScript. However, I have no idea what
to do with it. The page appears to be generated by some elog daemon. I do
not know how to hook into that.

eLog allows one to add custom headers or footers as well as include Cascading Style Sheets. I believe there is a post somewhere in here from Stefan indicating that javascript can be added through one of these methods . . . hold on, a simple search, yes Stefan mentions it at http://midas.psi.ch/elogs/Forum/1837

Now I am digging deeper, and I have a question:

In the function retrive_elog near line 427 a start is made with putting the attributes in an array.
As far as I can see there is no exception for the Attachment attribute. Where this attribute can be very large (e.g. many files attached) and overrun to the boundary variable (in the function submit_elog function). At least that is where I find end of my attachment string.

Could Mr. Ritt please shine some light on this, becouse I
