Question:

How can I make an iframe reload on a page?

by | earlier

I've created a menu with different links and iframes. One of the links is a "home" link. How can I make it go back to the home page? The problem is that the links are opening different iframe names, so the menu at the top is calling for a different frame name.

To clarify this further, the menu opens a page in a new iframe, which is a new page entirely.

I'm sure this is not making sense but I hope someone knows what I'm talking about. :)

here's how I would do it.

<body>

<iframe name="iframe1" href="http://yahoo.com"></iframe>

<script>

function reloadiframe()

{

iframe1.history.go(0)

}

</script>

<body>

Call reloadiframe() whenever you want to reload the iframe.

Unless this is for acedemic reasons, I highly recommend NOT using iframes. They do not get indexed by Google and you won't get credit for them.

None the less, here is the code.

<iframe name="frame_1"></iframe>

<iframe name="frame_2"></iframe>

<script>

frames['frame_1'].location.href = 'home.html';

</script>

OR ...

<a href='home.html' target="frame_2">Home</a>
