Re: Strange IE looping problem

When I got that looping problem, I tried to select other previously accessed
pages from that back button list, but nothing worked. IE just couldn't go to
any previous pages. It wast somehow stuck on that pages and was continuously
relaoding that page. And what's more, I had disabled meta refresh from IE
settings, so that IE couldn't automaticly redirect to another page.The
problem started when I clicked link from google search results. The link
lead to html page, which contained basically only meta refresh command to
another page. As I had disabled meta refresh, IE should have given me empty
page and stopped there. Instead, it started looping and loading that empty
page. When I closed IE and tried again, there wasn't any problem anymore.
