            So would I put that code in the iFrame module that I downloaded or in my config.txt. Sorry I’ve barely programmed anything and yesterday was the first time I’ve ever used JavaScript

                  on the config part I believe its just the URL. But on the iframe.js file, i think extra code would needed to be added.

                  
                  /* global Module */

                  Module.register("iFrame",{
                  		// Default module config.
                  		defaults: {
                  				height:"300px",
                  				width:"100%"
                  		},
                  
                  
                  	// Override dom generator.
                  	getDom: function() {
                  		var iframe = document.createElement("IFRAME");
                  		iframe.style = "border:0"
                  		iframe.width = this.config.width;
                  		iframe.height = this.config.height;
                  		iframe.src =  this.config.url;
                  		return iframe;
                      window.setInterval("reloadIFrame();", 30000);
                  
                  function reloadIFrame() {
                   document.frames["frameNameHere"].location.reload();
                  }
                  	}
                  
                  });

                      Sorry the forum seems to be overloaded. I put this in my code and still no refreshing. I believe the problem is my iFrame does not have a specified name. I am only able to input the scr=“URL”. Not sure where to put iframe name = “name”. When generating an iFrame from google sheets it does not specify a name either.

                          @PeppaPigKilla the code that was added by you is after the return, so the code will never be reached.

                          I suggest an interval which calls updateDom, which will be created after the DOM_OBJECTS_CREATED broadcast

                          Please create a github issue if you need help, so I can keep track
