[gui-talk] How do you stop a web page from constantly reloading?

[Mike Freeman]

If you have JAWS, there's a setting that's supposed to kill this behavior.
But given the way web pages are developed these days, that feature often
doesn't work. I haven't found a solution except to figure that if a site is
*that* busy and depends upon ever-changing eye-candy to woo people into
using it, it doesn't deserve me as a viewer!

For instance, on livingstrong.com, the page reloads so frequently and
rapidly that I am unable to exit from the page, I unable to delete the page,
and I am unable to close the other Windows to turn off the computer.  I have
to manually turn off the power to the computer and then reboot.  On other
web pages, it reloads so frequently that I can never read the text.  I
assume there must be some graphic going on to cause this annoyance.  Is
there a program which will freeze the page?
