How do I reload my component using javascript > First, when you initially call LOAD() to create the component, explicitly specify the 'target' argument, which will become the id of the div that will contain the component content (otherwise, web2py will create a random id). Then, at any time, on the client side you can update the content of the component by calling web2py_component(url, target), which is a Javascript function in /static/js/web2py_ajax.js. The 'url' should be the URL of the component action (it can even be a different component from the one originally loaded into the div), and the 'target' should be the target your originally specified when creating the component.

If your iframe includes a component, you can have the component return some Javascript via response.js. If it's just loading a regular page, then I suppose the page could include some JS to be executed when it loads. Anthony
