iFrame Refresh

Hi people, just another newbie here. I've read everything I can find about iFrames and automated refresh, and can get both to work. My problem is that my iframe source is not an HTML file, it's a CGI script. I'd like to use this:

<iframe src="http://www.something.com/cgi/chat.cgi?action=printwhoisonline;type=frame; name="who_is_online"></iframe>

Along with this in the same HTML file:

<META HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" CONTENT="60;URL=???">

So, my question is this: How do I reference this embedded iFrame in the meta tag to refresh it automatically? I would be happy with even a button that did the refresh to the iFrame, but so far all I can get it to do is refresh the whole page. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Nevermind. I'm dumb. I went and added the META tag refresh stuff to my CGI script that generates the HTML. Now, the refresh happens the way I wanted it to.

Sorry for your trouble.
