Q82 How do I force a reload/refresh from the current page?

You can for JavaScript 1.1 use the location objects reload method:

<form>
<input type="button" onClick="window.location.reload()" value="Reload">
</form>

Failing that you could try a meta tag that doesn't allow the page to be cached so that the following would reload:

<form>
<input type="buttom" onClick="window.location.href=window.location.href">
</form>

The no cache meta tag needs to be placed in between the <HEAD> and </HEAD> tags:

<meta http-equiv="no-cache">

Or you could use the meta tag for expires, to always ensure that a newer copy is loaded:

<meta http-equiv="expires" content="Wed, 26 Feb 1997 08:21:57 GMT">

Or you could refresh the page automatically after a delay using the refresh meta:

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="3;URL=http://www.some.org/some.html">
