Hi All,
Is the following possible, and if so could someone show me some example code
please :o)
I have a web page with several iframes, and I want to be able to refresh
them only not the entire web page but also to refresh them at different time
intervals. I've tried a few ways but it ends up refreshing the entire page,
doh. I've tried with DIV's and objects aswell but no joy, I'm sure it must
be possible and I'm been a thicket ;o)
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Rob

Is it possible for you not to post the same question twice in under 120
seconds?

window.frames['IFrameName'].reload()
Any ideas?
Yeah, lots of them. But most aren't fit for a family oriented NG.

Hi Randy,
Thanks for the quick response, trusty old outlook express went tits up
hence the double post :o)
I've tried the window.frames['IFrameName'].reload() but I'm getting a
javscript error of "object doesn't support this property or method".
I've enclosed a snippet of the code, could you be a star and point out the
error please :o)
======CODE======
<script language="JavaScript">
function refreshIt() {
window.frames['div2'].reload();
setTimeout('refreshIt()',5000); // refresh every 5 secs
}
</script>
<body onLoad="setTimeout('refreshIt()',5000);">
<iframe frameborder="0" scrolling="no" style="position: absolute; left:
0px; top: 00px;" id="div2" width="400" height="220"
src="CALLS.asp"></iframe>
</body>
======CODE======
Thanks in advance,
Rob

javscript error of "object doesn't support this property or method".

error please :o)
======CODE======
<script language="JavaScript">
function refreshIt() {
window.frames['div2'].reload();
window.frames['div2'].href = 'CALLS.asp?'+(new Date().getTime());
//just set its .href property, which will cause it to
//reload. You will need to add a parameter to insure
//it gets loaded from the server and not the cache
//That is what the new Date().getTime() is for.
setTimeout('refreshIt()',5000); // refresh every 5 secs
}
var myInterval = window.setInterval('refreshIt',5000);
The entire script block would look like this:
<script type="text/javascript">
function refreshIt(){
window.frames['div2'].href = 'CALLS.asp?'+(new Date().getTime());
}
var myInterval = window.setInterval(refreshIt,5000);
window.onload = refreshIt;
</script>
Notes:
1) Do not use the language attribute, use type instead.
2) window.setInterval(param1,param2). param1 is not quoted if it is a
function reference, and the () is not added.
3) You could do this without a named function. (I will leave that for
you to search/research before I tell you how if you want to know).
Using myInterval as above, you can stop the refresh by using
window.clearInterval(myInterval);

It might be an idea to make that:-
window.frames['div2'].location.href = ...
- or some other variant that includes the - location - object.

When I first read your reply, my first thought was "Of course. Randy,
you are a dipstick". But I went back to my test file and re-tested it to
confirm that I did indeed check/test that code (and I did). And then I
started thinking about it and wondering - what browser does the code I
posted not work in? Latest release of that browser though.
I won't get into a "The specs say you should do this" discussion, but I
am curious where it doesn't work.
The only thing I changed in the code was adding a div to dump the href
into and kept posting it:
And then re-tested it in O7/8/9 (even though I specified the most recent
release of a browser), IE6, Firefox, Mozilla, they all worked fine.

But yes, for historical and semantical reasons it should reference the
location object.

Give it time ;-)

Well there you have to decide what constitutes 'work' in this case. My
impression was that the intended outcome included the re-loading of the
contents of the IFRAME. In which case I would expect that if I selected
the text shown in the IFRAME the selection would disappear when the
frame re-loaded. I would also expect that if, while your test page was
running in a browser, I disconnected from the internet the next re-load
would show some sort of "unable to connect to server" report. Neither of
these expectations was satisfied by IE 6 or Mozilla 1.7.
I won't get into a "The specs say you should do this"
discussion,
That would be a rather futile discussion in connection to the -
location - object as it has never been subject to formal specification.
but I am curious where it doesn't work.

Your code initially creates, and then re-assigns values to, an - href -
property of a window object, it then reflects these values into the DIV.
All of this 'works', and can be expected to work in pretty much any
scriptable browser. What I would not expect is any re-loading of the
content of the window object to which the - href - property was added as
a side effect of the assignments, and I found no evidence that any
re-loading of the IFRAME was happening.
But yes, for historical and semantical reasons it should
reference the location object.
Effectiveness is probably an overriding reason for including the -
location - object in the operation.
