Attempting to use the refresh will log out the user of the website instead of refreshing the content

In html it is more common to use javascript. Write a javascript that will set the src of the iframe every x seconds. The javascript function to use for that is setInterval().


<html>
<body>

<iframe id="myiframe" src="">

<script>
function RefreshIFrame() {
    document.getElementById('myiframe').src = 'http://www.websiteneededrefreshed.com/';
}

window.setInterval(RefreshIFrame, 60000);

</script>

</body>
</html>
