I am at a loss for how to go about refreshing an embedded page using vanilla JavaScript. I have tried the following, but it does not seem to work
<html>
<iframe src="https://flowlab.io/game/play/1987226" width="100px" height="100px" id="HI" />
<script>
function refreshIFrame() {
var x = document.getElementById("HI");
x.contentWindow.location.reload();
}
function sleep(milliseconds) {
const date = Date.now();
let currentDate = null;
do {
currentDate = Date.now();
} while (currentDate - date < milliseconds);
}
refreshIFrame();
sleep(1000);
</script>
</html>
Not sure what you are trying to accomplish with this, but the following will work. Use setInterval to do the timing. I added a cache buster for good measure.
<iframe src="https://flowlab.io/game/play/1987226" style="width:1000px;height:600px;" id="HI"></iframe>
<script>
function refreshIFrame() {
console.log('Refresh');
var x = document.getElementById("HI");
//to help prevent cached reload, add a cache buster
const cb = new Date().getTime();
x.contentWindow.location.href = "https://flowlab.io/game/play/1987226?cb=" + cb;
}
setInterval(function() {
refreshIFrame();
}, 1000)
</script>
