Auto Refresh, yet continue to use Browser

I wish I stumbled upon this thread earlier. I've just written this script up for you guys. If anyone needs help using it just reply here and I'll try my best to help you out!

This is the link to the script from a Snippet host - Snipt.org:
http://snipt.org/Aggif4/Default

And here is the raw code if the snipt page is deleted:

property url_list : {"", "", "", "", ""}
property _defaultTotalRefreshes : 0
property _defaultTotalSeconds : 1

set _numoftabs to (choose from list {"1", "2", "3", "4", "5"} with prompt "How many tabs will you have open for auto Refreshing?" default items "1" OK button name "This Many" cancel button name "Nevermind")

--These two variables are very self explanatory
set _total to the text returned of (display dialog "How many total refreshes?" default answer ¬
	_defaultTotalRefreshes with title "Total")
set _seconds to the text returned of (display dialog "How many seconds per refresh?" default answer ¬
	_defaultTotalSeconds with title "Seconds")

--Set the default seconds to the previously entered number so it will be remembered 
--for the next time the user runs the script
set _defaultTotalSeconds to _seconds
set _defaultTotalRefreshes to _total

if _numoftabs = false then --Determine if the user wants to quit
	error "User canceled." number -128
else
	repeat with i from 1 to _numoftabs --Fill the list with urls
		set item i of url_list to text returned of (display dialog "What website do you want to set for tab " & i & "?" default answer "http://" with title "Enter the WHOLE address (http:// too)")
	end repeat
	
	tell application "Safari"
		make new document
		set winID to the id of window 1 --crucial for not crossing over to other window
		repeat with j from 1 to _numoftabs --open that list in new tabs
			set URL of tab j of window id winID to item j of url_list
			if j is less than _numoftabs then --opens the amount of tabs specified
				make new tab of window id winID
			end if
		end repeat
		
		-- HERE IS THE AUTO REFRESH PART
		repeat with _count from 0 to _total
			repeat with k from 1 to _numoftabs
				set URL of tab k of window id winID to item k of url_list
				delay _seconds
			end repeat
		end repeat
	end tell
	
end if

Here's a java script that does the same thing, just save to your bookmarks:

javascript:(function(p){open('','',p).document.write('%3Cbody%20id=1%3E%3Cnobr%20id=2%3E%3C/nobr%3E%3Chr%3E%3Cnobr%20id=3%3E%3C/nobr%3E%3Chr%3E%3Ca%20href=%22#%22onclick=%22return!(c=t)%22%3EForce%3C/a%3E%3Cscript%3Efunction%20i(n){return%20d.getElementById(n)}function%20z(){c+=0.2;if(c%3E=t){c=0;e.location=u;r++}x()}function%20x(){s=t-Math.floor(c);m=Math.floor(s/60);s-=m*60;i(1).style.backgroundColor=(r==0||c/t%3E2/3?%22fcc%22:c/t%3C1/3?%22cfc%22:%22ffc%22);i(2).innerHTML=%22Reloads:%20%22+r;i(3).innerHTML=%22Time:%20%22+m+%22:%22+(s%3C10?%220%22+s:s)}c=r=0;d=document;e=opener.top;u=prompt(%22URL%22,e.location.href);t=u?prompt(%22Seconds%22,60):0;setInterval(%22z()%22,200);if(!t){window.close()}%3C/script%3E%3C/body%3E')})('status=0,scrollbars=0,width=100,height=115,left=1,top=1')
