Question

i am using iframe to refresh captcha whenever user makes an error in typing captcha text.

this iframe is inside a form which looks like this…

<iframe id='cvbnm' frameborder='0' width='176' height='75' marginheight='0' marginwidth='0'>     </iframe>    

and whenever user types wrong captcha i am using

 $('#cvbnm').attr('src', 'captcha.php');   

where captcha.php is a different page where the captcha files are included.

this is working fine in firefox….but does not refresh in ie… please help me….

Answer 1

You might want to add a jQuery tag to this question.

What’s maybe happening is that as the src is staying the same IE isn’t generating a new request for the page.

Try

$('#cvbnm').removeAttr('src').attr('src', 'captcha.php'); 

Or

$('#cvbnm').attr('src', '').attr('src', 'captcha.php'); 

Update:

Ok, how about adding

parent.frames[FrameID].window.location.reload(); 

Or

document.getElementById(FrameID).contentDocument.location.reload(true); 

I must confess I’m getting this one from here
