    Ok I need a iframe that auto refresh's only the iframe. The iframe leads to a .txt file. The iframe I have now looks something like this:

    <iframe name='iframe1' src='/status.txt' frameborder="0" frameborder="0" width='80' height='40'></iframe>
    PHP:
    I need that to auto refresh every 5 seconds or so. I would like it to be in java cause that type of coding seems to work in all browsers :p but I know NOTHING about java accept how to put it into the .html . So I would really like your help!

    ( I can't find a working source anywhere on the internet so you guys are my last hope :D No preasure :p )

    Hi,
    I guess this should work.

    
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<script language="javascript">
function reloadIframe()
	{
		document.getElementById('iframe1').src='/status.txt';
	}
</script>
</head>

<body onload="reloadIframe();">
<iframe name='iframe1' src='/status.txt' frameborder="0" frameborder="0" width='80' height='40' id="iframe1"></iframe>
</body>
</html>
    Code (markup):
    Thanks

    You have to use settimeout to make a loop :)
