Q1454 Is there a way with the window object to force a refresh of the window contents using JavaScript?

It depends. Internet Explorer 4+ and Netscape Navigator 3+ can do a:

<script language="JavaScript"><!--
window.location.reload();
//--></script>

Netscape Navigator can also do:

<script language="JavaScript"><!--
forceReloadFromServer = true;
window.location.reload(forceReloadFromServer);
//--></script>
