Lawrence,
I do not remember if this works in 2.2.1 but it works in the latest
versions of BIRT. Add a text element set the type to html and enter a
value similar to the following.
<form name="input" onSubmit="return reloadPage();">
<script type="text/javascript">
function reloadPage() {
//alert("Reload time");
var temp = new String(location.href);
var targetURL = new String();
if(temp.indexOf("__overwrite=") != -1 ){
targetURL = temp.substring(0, temp.indexOf("&__overwrite") -1);
}else{
targetURL = temp;
}
targetURL += "&__overwrite=true";
//alert( targetURL );
location.replace(targetURL);
return false;
}
timer=setTimeout('reloadPage()', 5000);
</script>
</form>

In case it's useful to anyone, I am posing the actual, shortened version I used which works ok in 2.2.1. Basically,I removed the "overwrite" section from Jason's example above -- and it seems to work fine. Is there any specific reason for the overwrite section?
<form name="input" onSubmit="return reloadPage();">
<script type="text/javascript">
function reloadPage() {
var targetURL = new String(location.href);
location.replace(targetURL);
return false;
}
timer=setTimeout('reloadPage()', 60000);
</script>
</form>

The overwrite section causes the report to re-execute producing an
updated rptdocument. Without it changes in source data may not be
picked up.

Are you putting the parameter values in the url?

Can you post the script/report you are using? If the parameters are in
the URL the parameter box should not be prompting.
