Question about inserting a file

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Sep 14.2007

Ok, so I hope this is an easy question. I am somewhat new to web design and I am having trouble inserting a file into a frame. Well I have no problem inserting a file, but I want the file to automatically update. I am inserting a directory and it is saved as a webpage and displays just like I want it. But since it is a directory it gets updated all the time, so when ever I upload the new file to the website folder I want it to update the page too. How would I go about doing this? Thank you so much!

Success!
