How can I set the browser to refresh automatically without losing viewstate

From my code behind file, I can put a line like this in order to make
the page automatically refresh every minute:

Response.AppendHeader("Refresh", 60);

But the viewstate of the controls is lost when I do this (as opposed
to when the page posts back when I click on a button on the page, in
which case the viewstate is preserved). Is there another way to do an
automatic refresh?

thanks in advance.
 
Can you please give me an example how to do this? I am new at
javascript. I have tried putting the following function calls in
javascript for my page and they all cause exceptions (with the form
object being undefined or null):

this.submit();
form.submit();
document.form.submit();
document.forms[0].submit();
document.theform.submit();
document.myform.submit();

thanks
 
I'd suggest a jscript group but.....something like this perhaps

yourFormname is the name in the <FORM...> tag
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
setTimeout(yourFormname.submit(),6000);
</SCRIPT>

use a javascript client-side time to do a form.submit() over 60 seconds.
