How can I reload a page using JavaScript?

I’m looking for a method that works across all browsers. Specifically, I want to know how to achieve this with JavaScript refresh page.

Hi,

You can use the location.reload() method. This method reloads the current URL, similar to clicking the refresh button in the browser. It works across all browsers. Here’s how to use it:

location.reload(); // This will reload the page

This is the most straightforward way to achieve a javascript refresh page.

Another way to refresh the page is by setting window.location.href to the current URL. This effectively redirects the browser to the same page:

window.location.href = window.location.href; // This also reloads the page

This method will also ensure a javascript refresh page.

You can also use history.go(0), which tells the browser to reload the current page from the server. This method can be useful if you want to ensure that the page is reloaded and not loaded from the cache:

history.go(0); // Reloads the current page

This is yet another way to perform a javascript refresh page.
