How can I simulate an onclick event in IE?

I've been searching around and haven't really found anything. I've but
an IE browser on my form and would like to simulate clicking the
provided refresh button on a one minute interval. I can't use navigate
because the page has frames and only one frame does the refreshing.
Surely theres a simple way to make the browser simulate the onclick of
the particular button I'm wanting? Its javascript in frame 2. Can
anyone help?

I think you want a Javascript timeout object calling whatever function would
be called by clicking the button.

Unless you meant the equivalent of a refresh button in a browser, in which
