How to force clicking on "Refresh" link button after saving some data into DB , by javascript?

Question

Hi I'm completely newbie in JavaScript. Now my problem is: I have a page (Default.aspx). The page has a link button "Refresh" (lbtnRefresh) and another linkbutton (lbtnSave) which saves some data users has entered into DB.

I want the page be refreshed after saving data into DB, by using javascript.

Is that possible or not?

Thank you

Answer 1

Try using the following function:

window.location.reload(true);

The true argument will force the browser to bypass the cache and reload from the server.

You can simply do it by changing the current window location

window.location = 'http://www.stackoverflow.com/?timestamp=6546546416';

To avoid cache, you can add a timestamp to the url.
