Meta Refresh in Header using is_page

try to adapt the syntax:

<?php if( is_page( '1044' )) { ?>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="30">
<?php } ?>

Thanks a million, alchymyth. Works like a champ!

For others wanting to do this, the code seems to work ONLY if it’s place on the last line of the header.

You can see it in action here: https://georgefaris.com/?page_id=1044

AWESOME!! Thanks guys, I’m glad I wasn’t the only one looking to do this…

how can I auto refresh the homepage only?
Thanks in advance.

forgotten to tell one thing that I use Thesis theme & wordpress 3.3
