Question

i have tried following code but it could change on click, i want to change the iframe inner part after every 5 second interval.

<html>
 <body>
  <iframe id="foo"></iframe>
  <a href="http://www.mydomain.com" target="foo">This page</a>
 </body>
</html>

basically idea is that i have pages which will display inside of iframe, these 5 web pages will change after another after every 5 second interval.

thanks

Based on @Matthew Dean answer :

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

<script>
var links = ["http://www.example.com/page","http://www.example.com/anotherpage"];
var i = 0;
var renew = setInterval(function(){
    document.getElementById("foo").src = links[i];        
    if(links.length == i){
        i = 0;
    }
    else i++;
},5000);
</script>
</head>

<body>
<iframe id="foo" src="http://example.com"></iframe>
</body>
</html>

Important: Not all sites can be used within iframes. Be sure that the website you put in the links array allows to be used inside an iframe.

OTHER TIPS

This will do it:

var urls = ["http://www.google.com", "http://www.example.com"];
var i = 0;

function changeSrc() {
   if (urls.length > i) {
      document.getElementById("foo").src = urls[i];
      i++;
      setTimeout(function() {
         changeSrc();
      }, 5000);
   }
}
changeSrc();
