You couldn't even stop the download of a graphics heavy page by hitting the stop button or escape key either because the page would just turn blank. I've searched a couple times for a solution but could never find it. This seems to have fixed it. Thanks.

Google recommends owners use meta refresh when a 301 is not an option. In short, millions of websites simply won't work with this disabled.

It's only used for sites with content that needs to stay up to date when people don't want to go to the bother of using flash or, better yet, AJAX. Sometimes, it's used to do redirects by people who don't know what they're doing. Meta refresh is pointless anyway.
