Comment (by yurivict271):

 No, this isn't much.
 Html only gets these lines:
 {{{
   <script src="jquery.js"></script>
   <script src="reload.js"></script>
   <script>$(document).ready(function() {reloadAfterTimeout(60)})</script>
 }}}

 And separate reload.js might look like this:
 {{{
   function reloadAfterTimeout(cnt) {
     setTimeout(function() {
       $.ajax({
         url: "recheck_tor",
         context: document.body,
         success: function(json) {
           // update document with the current TOR status
           $('#yesNoText').innerHTML = json[0] ? "You are using TOR" : "You
 are not using TOR"
           document.title = json[0] ? "You are using TOR" : "You are not
 using TOR"
           $('#favicon_link')[0].href = json[0] ? 'favicon-success.ico' :
 'favicon-not-tor.ico'
           // resubmit
           if (cnt > 0)
             reloadAfterTimeout(cnt-1)
         }
       })
     }, 60000)
   }
 }}}
 It will only be loaded when the user has JavaScript enabled.
 Json response will be one of these:
 {{{
 * [true]
 * [false]
 }}}

 The JavaScript use in itself in general isn't the security threat. Tor
 browser usually disables it just in case.
