    Hi,

    I been trying to get my iFrame to refresh for the last 8 hours and ended up with the entire site refreshing along with the iFrame.

    I tried the meta equiv code, but it sometimes work and most of the time it does not and sometime ended up reloading the entire page.

    http-equiv = refresh(10)
    Code (markup):

    than I tried using javascript which I found,

    function refreshiframe()
    {
    parent.iframeid.location.href="thepage.com/blah.html"
    setTimeout("refreshiframe()", 10000);
    }
    Code (markup):
    That works in IE perfectly and works of FF most of the time and did not work on Opera at all :eek:

    I finally give up now, is there any way I can refresh only the iFrame and not the entire site??

    Help meeeeeee!!! :(:(

    Thanks

    Is the first call to refreshiframe() done after the page loads?
    Also, instead of parent.iframeid, I would use:
    document.getElementById ? parent.getElementById('iframeid') : parent.all['iframeid']
