How to refresh the page by using Javascript in IE? Following code is working in Mozilla but not in Internet Explorer
window.location.reload());
history.go(0);

In javascript you can use:
location.reload(); => post request, same as click the refresh button on the browser
window.location=window.location; => get request
self.location=self.location; => get request
If you get an IE error saying
'To display the webpage again, Internet Explorer needs to resend the information you've previously submitted',
you can use window.location=window.location; to refresh the page instead of location.reload();
Implementation:
<%@ Page Language="vb" AutoEventWireup="false" CodeBehind="Default.aspx.vb" Inherits="PostMethod_Test._Default" %>

Refresh:
<div>
Get/Post Method:<a href="javascript:location.reload();">JS Location Reload</a> (if
there is any control in the form then after the form was submitted for the first
time, if you click this, it will be a post method coming with the IE alert)
</div>
<div>
Get Method:<a href="javascript:window.location=window.location;">JS Window Location</a>
(does not create a history entry) (if there is any control in the form then after
the form was submitted for the first time, if you click this, it will still be a
get method which means the form will not be submitted again)
</div>
<div>
Get Method:<a href="javascript:self.location=self.location;">JS Self Location</a>
(Same as above)
