need an iframe to refresh automatically

I have a situation where I need to refresh an iframe about every 30 seconds. I have looked through the forums and tried a few things, to no avail. 

<iframe id="Doyle" src="http://www.dot.ca.gov/dist2/rwis/sm_doyle.php" 
width="375" height="560">
</iframe>

<script>
window.setInterval("reloadIFrame();", 3000);

function reloadIFrame() {
 document.frames["Doyle"].location.reload();
}
</script>

Any suggestions on how to make this work?

Use following code

<iframe id="Doyle" src="http://www.dot.ca.gov/dist2/rwis/sm_doyle.php" 
width="375" height="560">
</iframe>

<script>
window.setInterval("reloadIFrame();", 30000);

function reloadIFrame() {
 var frameHolder=document.getElementById('Doyle');
frameHolder.src="http://www.dot.ca.gov/dist2/rwis/sm_doyle.php"
}
</script>

check working example below

an iframe is an element, it is not an object like the window one, and to change its target you just need to update its src attribute, document.getElementById('YOURFRAMEID').src="http://google.com/"; or something like that
