To reload an iframe every x seconds, you can use the setInterval() function in JavaScript. Here's an example code snippet that demonstrates how to achieve this:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 |
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<script>
window.onload = function() {
// Reload the iframe every 5 seconds
setInterval(reloadIframe, 5000);
}
function reloadIframe() {
var iframe = document.getElementById('myIframe');
iframe.src = iframe.src; // Reload the iframe by setting the src attribute again
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<iframe id="myIframe" src="https://www.example.com"></iframe>
</body>
</html>
|
In the above code, the setInterval() function is called with a reference to the reloadIframe() function and a time interval in milliseconds (in this case, 5000 milliseconds or 5 seconds). This will reload the iframe with the id myIframe every 5 seconds.
Note: It's important to use the window.onload event to ensure that the script only executes after the DOM has finished loading.
