Auto refresh web page every 4 minutes

I need to refresh a web page every 4 minutes or it will timeout

The address is on my bookmark toolbar. Is it possible to add a code to the url so everytime I click on it to load the page it will also load the code and refresh every 4 minutes?

I need this to work on my corporate computer running FF, IE and Chrome. It is not possible to install any type of extension to help achieve that.

Thanks in advance

remove the timeout

@VITSUSAJul 01.2020 — @borgfan#1620102 This can be accomplished without javascript, with this metatag:

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="240" >

where content ="240" are the seconds that the page will wait until refreshed.

@NachfolgerJul 01.2020 — @VITSUSA#1620112 Are you expecting him to insert this manually into the head tag each time he visits and refreshes the page? Read his question.

@borgfan#1620102 Unless you can install an extension, there's no way to automate this task. You used to be able to run javascript within a bookmark button, but it doesn't look possible now.

Success!
