Refresh page onclick of button

[daitasri]

Hi,
I m using javascript in HTML Page.And i want to refresh the page onclick of a button.I Tried with history.go(0) ;
Its working fine but wil it cause any caching? I want to know some better way of refreshing ,because my html page is behaving very differently.

Thanks

use a function like this:

function refresh_page() {
    window.location.href = window.location.href + '?' + (+ new Date);
}

the last section that we add avoids the caching through adding a timestamp to the request ...

kind regards

Does location.reload() not work?

that should work, but i don't remember how cross-browser compatible it is. I'd check it out first.

:) reload(true) should have the same effect - without the param it calls the page from the cache i think? ... and i think it should work with all browsers ...

kind regards

Yes, the forceGet parameter forces a reload from the server. If it's not specified, it could possibly be loaded from the cache.
