Issue with IFrame scroller script

[jimp]

1) Script Title: Top-Down scrolling window script

2) Script URL (on DD): http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex8/topscroll.htm

3) Describe problem:
I need help... my javascript skills are sadly lacking...
The feed for my IFRame is a sql extract populating the display that scrolls... this works... but the length of this feed is variable and I need to be able to refresh this data at the end of each scroll.

I have a javascript function that is called to refresh the data and I placed it in the Initialization function... but it doesn't appear to adjust the settimeout call to start the refresh function as the document length changes...

The line I added is setTimeout("reLoad()",dataobj.offsetHeight*4);
the *4 is a swag that seems to work as a multiplier of the document length.

the problem is that I need to adjust this length as the document shortens.

any help would be appreciated as I seem to be floundering...
