hey, there :)
i'm currently trying to find a solution for the following problem:
i'm having a frameset. the topframe holds the nav, while the mainframe contains some sites, that are not on my server.
is it somehow possible to let the mainframe-sites auto-refresh after -say- 60 seconds, or so?
i know how auto-refresh works for normal pages (i.e. in the head-tag).. but is it also possible to get this behaviour done for foreign frames? :)
help will be much appreciated ;)
It should work. Just put the code in the page you want to refresh :).
that would work, yes..
but the problem is, that i don't have access to these files :(
as i said.. they aren't on my server, so there's no chance, that i could get a grip on their code.
any other way to refresh pages, except for placing the code in the head-tag?

There's browsers that can refresh.... I know that Opera does, and there's a refresher on download.com that will refresh how often you set it at.

I know this is a little late, but I'll leave it here for future reference for anyone.
I just had this problem when I was making a page with a webcam and tagboard. The tagboard didn't automatically refresh, so you had to right-click the frame and choose "Refresh" everytime you wanted to see updates. And if you did this too often, it would say the refresh limit was exceeded.
The tagboard was located in an inline frame (<iframe>) and I didn't have access to the html source so I couldn't place the auto-refresh code in the <meta> tag.
So I created a new html document called "tagboard.html" that consisted of this:
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="60">
</head>
<body>
<iframe src="the tagboard URL goes here" name="tag" width=200 height="200" frameborder="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0"></iframe>
</body>
</html>
Then I went back to my original html document that had the link to the tagboard inline frame and made the inline frame link to tagboard.html:
<td width=200 height="200" valign=top>
<iframe src="tagboard.html" name="tagboard" width=200 height="200" frameborder="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0"></iframe>
</td>
I know I'm not really good at explaining things, but I hope that helped. Essentially, I created an inline frame within an inline frame, so I could make the outer frame automatically refresh, thus making the inner frame automatically refresh with it.
