Does anyone know how to make the iFrame module refresh periodically?

@PeppaPigKilla
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.

I tried it and cant get it to work either. best reaching out to the author,

@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

Thanks for the suggestion. I wouldn’t know where to start with that though. I tried this module which did not work refresh for me either.

@cnelso24 the problem is probably that there isnt a change detected when updating the dom, try to add a timestamp attribute to the iframe.

@kevsfastz is it possible to show simple html content and update periodically?

@fox
The simple answer is yes it is possible. What is your goal specifically?
