To force it to reload every time, add a random GET parameter to its URL:

iframe.src = "testpage.html?reload="+Math.random();#

or as Jacob suggests, the current timestamp (eliminating the possibility of duplicates):

iframe.src = "testpage.html?reload="+(new Date()).getTime();

someIframe.src += "#forceReload";

Should work. or:

someIframe.src += "?fakeQuery";
