trigger page?

[markestranged]

Here's my problem.

I have page with several frames. I want one of the frames to be refreshed every time an event happens in an entirely different script that isn't a webpage. I was just going to have a hidden frame in the page that checks to see if the event happens every 5 seconds and then reloads the target frame only when it occurs but that seems sloppy. Does anyone have any suggestions? Can I do this in Flash or Javascript?

I just had a thought...

PHPchat must have done something similar because a segment of the page refreshes when a message is sent to it. Does anyone know how that bit works?

i think it's...

window.parent.FrameName.refresh();
