You need to either load a slightly different URL in the iframe (and check the URL on iframe's onload before reloading) or put the flag variable in the outer page (and access it with parent.variableName - that should work I think)
• if (pl=1) { should use ==, as = is always an assignment.
• change+pl; has no effect.
