How do I refresh a page using JavaScript?
Use location.reload()
.
For example, to reload whenever an element with id="something"
is clicked:
$('#something').click(function() {
location.reload();
});
The reload()
function takes an optional parameter that can be set to true
to force a reload from the server rather than the cache. The parameter defaults to false
, so by default the page may reload from the browser's cache.
