If it's a frame, try this: right-click a blank part of the framed page, then click This Frame to open the fly-out menu, then click Reload Frame.

When I click it there is no "This Frame" in the drop down menu. I need for the frame to automatically load every few seconds. Its easy to get tab reloaders/refreshers but they are loading the entire page which doesn't work on this page unfortunately.

So it's not an actual framed page.

If you can't find an add-on that clicks an identifiable element on a schedule, you could try to find a userscript or write one yourself.

(Userscripts require an extension such as Greasemonkey, Tampermonkey, or Violentmonkey.)

You will need to find a selector for the button such as an id or combination of other criteria to unique identify it. Then you will need to inject your clicker function using window.setInterval().

For example, the Preview button below the post on this page has id="preview" so the code to click that every 30 seconds would be:

var clicker = window.setInterval(function(){document.getElementById('preview').click();}, 30 * 1000);

(That's 30 x 1000 milliseconds)

To stop it:

window.clearInterval(clicker);

Can't you open this frame in its own tab ?

When I right click the refresh button and click "Inspect Element" interesting options appear. Can I do something there? Sure would be nice to see a REFRESH option with a time interval! One can only dream....:) What I'm clicking to refresh that frame or part of the page is just a button actually. I wonder if "frame" is the right word though. Its a box that displays updated information while everything else on the page remains the same.

Interesting options appear on the page, on the context menu, in the Page Inspector tool, or... what?? Did you intend to share a screenshot or ??
