Hi,

In my main webpage, I’ve got an iframe that displays a page depending on whichever link I click. (hypothetically:home, about, contact… etc)

The problem is, if the current active iframe holds my about page, and I hit the refresh button on the browser, I get the home page iframe (which is programmed to be displayed initially with the main page).

So,  
Is there a way I can refresh the current iframe when I hit the refresh button?

It’d be great if I could get some help on this.
