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

JavaScript 1.2 and newer

window.location.reload(); // If we needed to force the document to be fetched from the // web server again (such as where the document contents // change dynamically but cache control headers are not // configured properly), Firefox supports a non-standard // parameter that can be set to true to bypass the cache: //window.location.reload(true); 

JavaScript 1.1

window.location.replace(window.location.pathname + window.location.search + window.location.hash); // does not create a history entry 

JavaScript 1.0

window.location.href = window.location.pathname + window.location.search + window.location.hash; // creates a history entry
