I am trying to refresh the main frame of a page with three frames every 60 seconds. This is what my index.html looks like.

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC &quot;-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Frameset//EN&quot; &quot;<html>
<head>
<title>TWC VOD Monitoring Tool</title>
<meta http-equiv=&quot;Content-Type&quot; content=&quot;text/html; charset=iso-8859-1&quot;>

<script language=&quot;JavaScript&quot;>

function refreshPage()
{
while(1)
{
parent.main.history.go(0);
sleep(60);
}
}
</script>
</head>
<meta http-equiv=&quot;Refresh&quot; content=&quot;5;url=javascript:refreshPage()&quot;>
<frameset rows=&quot;76,*&quot; cols=&quot;*&quot; frameborder=&quot;NO&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; framespacing=&quot;0&quot;>
<frame src=&quot;topframe.html&quot; name=&quot;topFrame&quot; scrolling=&quot;NO&quot; noresize >
<frameset rows=&quot;*&quot; cols=&quot;161,*&quot; framespacing=&quot;0&quot; frameborder=&quot;NO&quot; border=&quot;0&quot;>
<frame src=&quot;leftFrame1.html&quot; name=&quot;leftFrame&quot; scrolling=&quot;NO&quot; noresize>
<frame src=&quot;Homepage?style=styles/Homepage.xsl&dtdName=Homepage.dtd&docType=Homepage&quot; name=&quot;main&quot;>
</frameset>
</frameset>

<noframes>
<body bgcolor=&quot;#eeeedf&quot;>
</body></noframes>
</html>
</html>

Every time I try to delay the next refresh of the page it causes my processor on the client machine to be used at 100%. Thanks for any help you can give me.

Personally, I'd do the refresh in &quot;main&quot;:
Code: 
   <script type=&quot;text/javascript&quot; language=&quot;JavaScript&quot;>
      function refreshThis() {
         history.go(0);
         return;
      }
      function onPageLoad() {
          window.setTimeout(&quot;refreshThis();&quot;, 1000);
          return;
      }
   </script>
   <body onload=&quot;onPageLoad();&quot;>
      ...
   </body>
What you're doing is running the script all the time (the [tt]sleep(60);[/tt] doesn't deactivate your script). The above only gets fired every 60 seconds and won't swamp you processor.

Is there a way to do this from the frames html? I want the page they currently have up to be refreshed every 60 seconds. This is currrently a system monitoring tool and the sub pages on this web site need to updated too. Most of this pages are XMl with style sheets so I thought it would be easiest to do it from the frames html.
