Reload web pages on change

readme

Automatic Browser Reloads

Automatically reloads web pages when changed. No server side logic required. Works fine with Apache.

Usage

Put this anywhere in your HTML file:

<script src="reload.min.js"></script>

The minified source is a single line. You may also embed the source directly.

NOTE: This is a development tool. Remove the script before deployment.

How it works

Does HEAD requests with AJAX polling every second. If the Last-Modified header is greater than the page load timestamp it does a location.reload().

The host MUST be localhost or else the script will not send any requests. This means the page containing the script has to be served by a web server.

Why a Node package?

This script is used by Consolify which turns your browser window into a console and runs Node modules via Browserify.
