[Javascript] iframe question

[Håkan Magnusson]

I'd reload the frame when the form is totally finished, as in when you 
get the results page for the form. Suggesting that the iframe is in the 
topmost document, something along this line should do it:

top.document.getElementsById('iframe-id').contentDocument.location.reload(true);

Regards,
H
