How to refresh/reload page once using jQuery?

Question

Hi! Newbie question: I'm wondering how to refresh/reload a page (or even specific div) once(!) using jQuery? Ideally in a way right after the "DOM structure" is available (cf. "onload" event) and not negatively affecting "back button" or "bookmark" functionalities. Please note: ''replace('' is not allowed due to third-party restrictions. Thanks in advance! --Pete

Answer 1

window.location.href=window.location.href;

Answer 2

EDIT:

Alright, i think i got what you're asking for, try this

if(window.top==window) {
    // you're not in a frame so you reload the site
    window.setTimeout('location.reload()', 3000); //reloads after 3 seconds
} else {
    //you're inside a frame, so you stop reloading
}

If it is once, then just do

$('#div-id').triggerevent(function(){
    $('#div-id').html(newContent);
});

If it is periodically

function updateDiv(){
    //get new content through ajax
    ...
    $('#div-id').html(newContent);
}

setInterval('updateDiv()', 5000); // that's 5 seconds

So, every 5 seconds the div #div-id content will refresh. Better than refreshing the whole page.
