Checkpoint 7.4 - Until user agents provide the ability to stop the refresh, do not create periodically auto-refreshing pages

Auto refreshing pages may cause screen readers to begin over again at the start of the page, as if a new page had been loaded. This can be very frustrating to screen reader users. There are other reasons not to use auto refresh, which you can read at Why Not To "META-Refresh". It's also worth having a look at Why To META-Refresh available on the same page.

How do I do it?

Just don't use the <META> refresh below.

<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh"

        CONTENT="30; 
        URL=http://www.yoursite.com/some/place/">

How do I check that it meets the WCAG criteria?

Run your page through webXact's accessibility checker to validate this checkpoint automatically.
