jQuery Refresh/Reload Page if Ajax Success after time

Question

I use Jquery to make an Ajax request. The server returns Json object with value "true or false" like this:

return Json(new { success = false, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet });

Is there any way to refresh page after 5 seconds if the server returns true?

Answer 1

In your ajax success callback do this:

success: function(data){
   if(data.success == true){ // if true (1)
      setTimeout(function(){// wait for 5 secs(2)
           location.reload(); // then reload the page.(3)
      }, 5000); 
   }
}

As you want to reload the page after 5 seconds, then you need to have a timeout as suggested in the answer.

Answer 2

location.reload();

You can use the reload function in your if condition for success and the page will reload after the condition is successful.
