How to reload a page using JavaScript

Question

How can I reload the page using JavaScript?

I need a method that works in all browsers.

Answer 1

This should work:

window.location.href = window.location.href.split( '#' )[0];

or

var x = window.location.href;
x = x.split( '#' );
window.location.href = x[0];

I prefer this for the following reasons:

• Removes the part after the #, ensuring the page reloads on browsers that won't reload content that has it.
• It doesn't ask you if want to repost last content if you recently submit a form.
• It should work even on most recent browsers. Tested on Lasted Firefox and Chrome.

Alternatively, you may use the most recent official method for this task

window.location.reload()
