Control page refreshing

I need to add a button to a page that can enable or disable page auto refreshing. Can anyone help me get this started

1. I want the page to refresh every 10 seconds by default and display a button "Stop Refresh

2. When user clicks button, it stops the auto refresh and button now reads "Start Auto Refresh

and so on. I am currently using only a meta tag for refreshing but cannot control it.

Thank
C

Sure you can!

<%
if request.querystring("s")="" then
%>
<meta name="Refresh" content="8;http://somepage.html">
<%
else
'// nothing
end if
%>

Not sure I understand how to use this code. How do I send a button click to it?

<%
if s="" then
'// the querystring is blank
%>
<form action="thispage.asp?s=1" method="post">
<%
else
'// it's not blank
%>
<form action="thispage.asp" method="post">
<%
end if
%>
