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 works for me:

function refresh() {    
    setTimeout(function () {
        location.reload()
    }, 100);
}

Answer 2

To reload a page using JavaScript, use:

window.location.reload();

Answer 3

Shortest (more)

history.go()

Answer 4

Using a button or just put it inside an "a" (anchor) tag:

<input type="button" value="RELOAD" onclick="location.reload();" />

Try these for other needs:

Location Objects has three methods --

assign() Used to load a new document
reload() Used to reloads the current document.
replace() Used to replace the current document with a new one

Answer 5

location.href = location.href;

Answer 6

location.reload();

See this MDN page for more information.

If you are refreshing after an onclick then you'll need to return false directly after

location.reload();
return false;
