web content tile refresh does not work

‎08-25-2020 03:19 PM

Hi,

 

I am trying to show news feed items from an RSS feed inside a web content tile in an online dashboard.

 

If I don't refresh the content it works without problems. When I add the location.reload part at the end to refresh the contents or use meta data refresh the tile turns to blank after the refresh. 

 

I am new to java script and will be grateful if someone suggests a solution to this.

 

Thanks,

 

 

<script type = "text/JavaScript">

function load_js()
{
var head= document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0];
var script= document.createElement('script');
script.src='//rss.bloople.net/?url=http%3A%2F%2Frss.cnn.com%2Frss %2Fcnn_latest.rss&detail=-1&limit=10&showtitle=false&type=js';
head.appendChild(script);
}
load_js();

setTimeout(function() {
location.reload();
}, 5000);

</script>

I found a solution. The following code works.

 

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>


<style type="text/css">
body {
margin: 0;
overflow: hidden;
}
#iframe1 {
position:absolute;
left: 0px;
width: 100%;
top: 0px;
height: 100%;
}
</style>

</head>
<body>

<iframe id="iframe1" src="//rss.bloople.net/?url=..........detail=-1&limit=10&showtitle=false&type=html" frameborder="0"></iframe>

<script>
window.setInterval("reloadIFrame();", 60000);
function reloadIFrame() {
document.getElementById("iframe1").src="//rss.bloople.net/?url=.........detail=-1&limit=10&showtitle=false&type=html";
}
</script>

</body>
</html>
