I want to change the meta tag content i.e. refresh rate and url dynamically using javascript. Using a button to enable javascript function. Tried 3 alternatives but not working. Please help.

<!--document.getElementById("mymetatag").setAttribute("content", "5;URL=");-->
var m = document.createElement('meta');

Reset to default 3This works for me.
The issue could have been that you tried a first code which did not work and you mented the code with HTML ments <!-- [...] -->instead of Javascript ments: // [...] or /** [...] */.

</html>I looks like you misuse the functionality of metatags, JS doesn't save the state between requests. And, BTW, you can do reload/redirect using the javascript itself.
