Refresh Frames 1

[hillbillyfritz]

Is there a way to refresh a frame from a different frame or the index? I have a frame that some links go to and I want to occasionally refresh the frame back to how it was when the page loaded. Thanks.

from "the other frame" :
---
top.name_of_the_frame.reload()
top.name_of_the_frame.reload(true) if you want to force the refresh

Thanks, is there a way to control how often it refreshes?
Also, should it look like this?

<script language=&quot;JavaScript&quot;>
top.right.reload(true)
</script>

sorry i didn't see your answer
to control &quot;how often it refreshes&quot; just control how often you call it !!!!
and you'd better not let it in the head part like this <script language=&quot;JavaScript&quot;>
top.right.reload(true)
</script>
as it'll keep reloading the &quot;right&quot; frame

for instance, if you want to call it on a action such as onclick :
<tag .... onclick=&quot;top.right.reload()&quot;>

thanks for all of the help so far but now i'm really confused. i just want the frame (right) to go to back to right.html every 60 seconds but since the frame has gone to a totally different page i have to control it from somewhere else. thanks again!
