location.href works in IE but not Firefox

baranabas

I have looked, but I can't seem to find an explanation for the problem
I am having. I have a page that show an image from another server. I
want the image to refresh without refreshing my page. (My page has a
huge flash movie on it that is sucking my bandwidth.) I have devised
the solution below which works only in IE, but not if Firefox or Opera
or Safari. I would really appreciate any help.

because you allways call same url
and also perhaps did you disactive IE's cache ?

I am meaning to call the same url. It is a webcam that updates once a
minute.

I do not know how to disactivate the cache in IE, but it is currently
working in IE.

I tried what you suggested and it doesn't seem to work in IE or
Firefox.

I really appreciate your help.

Your webcam takes a photo each five minutes did I see
Perhars is it normal that nothing changes on each 3 seconds ?

and sometimes : no response ...

oh I see (perhaps ?)
try :

var ind = 0;
function refresh_iframe() {
ind++;
p.frames['webcam'].location.href="http://instacam.com/instacamimg/DLTH1/DLTH1_S.jpg#"+ind;
setTimeout("refresh_iframe()", 3000);
}

The webcam only refreshes every few minutes. I set the timeout to 3
seconds for testing.

I tried this suggestion as well and it creates an error.

Thanks again.

could be a cache issue perhaps, add a random parameter to the url
