Question

Can Someone Please help me? how do you reload an iframe on a page using javascript from another tab opened tab.

example:

i opened a tab, lets say tab1 has an iframe wich is named frame1.

then i open another tab which is tab 2 then a script in tab two will will refresh frame1 in tab1.

is this possible?

Answer 1

If JavaScript did not open the second page, there is nothing you can do.

If you opened the second tab with JavaScript:

var winPop = window.open("foo");

and use winPop to reference the new window.

alert(winPop.getElementsByTagName("div").length);
