Controlling IE in KIOSK mode with page in IFRAME

by craig.foster2.ctr . Updated 18 years, 3 months ago

Windows XP
Internet Explorer 6

I have a page in an IFRAME that holds a page that reloads automatically.

The problem
When the page in the IFRAME reloads, the top page reloads along with it. Why? How can I prevent this?

UPDATE: It appears the JavaScript used to page through images on one of the top level pages is at least part of the problem.

Background
I am working on web pages that will display on monitors in the lobby’s of our facilities. I am restricted in using locked down computers to feed the monitors. The computers will have internet (and our Intranet) access but third party software installation is not an option.

So, I am working on web pages hosted on our Intranet and controlled by database entries.

How it should work
I open MS Internet Explorer in KIOSK mode with a default news page loaded. In this default page and all subsequent pages is an IFRAME that holds a controller page. This controller page reloads periodically to check a database to see which page to display in the main page.
