I need to auto refresh a div containing an iFrame, I've tried a lot of tutorials online and nothing I use works. Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Use jscript or Ajax I'll try find some code

Assuming you mean to refresh the content inside the <iframe /> in the manner that you would refresh your browser window, use the following JavaScript command:

Code

document.getElementById('#myIframe').contentWindow.location.reload();

Or switch out the document.getElementById("#myIframe") with a jQuery $("#myIframe")

Hope this helps

Here is some code

Code

html

<div id="res">Primary content</div>
<input type="button" value="rel"></input>

Code

jscript(add Jquery)

$(document).ready(function(){
$("#rel").click(function(){
$("#res").html(ajax_load).load(loadUrl);
});
});

I need it to auto refresh every 5 seconds, not from user input.

Try this

Code

jscript(add Jquery)

$(document).ready(function(){
$("#rel").click(function(){
$("#res").html(ajax_load).load(loadUrl);
}, 3000);
});

I think something like this should work.

HTML:

Code

<iframe width='800' height='900' src='http://w3schools.com' id='w3frame'></iframe>

JS:

Code

window.setInterval(function(){
    document.getElementById('w3frame').src = 'http://w3schools.com';
}, 5000);

Reloads the Iframe every 5 secs. You might run into resource origin issues though. If same origin is enabled on the server, you can also do this:

Code

window.frames['nameoftheframe'].location.reload();

Similar to what edgedev has suggested already. Hope that helps.

Maybe you should not use iFrame and start using real technology instead.

Maybe you should not use iFrame and start using real technology instead.

I have no control over that, the iFrame is a widget for a charity that I need updated every 5 seconds on a Twitch stream.
