Answer 1

To reload the current page, you can use:

location.reload(true);

To reload the previous page, you can try:

history.go(-1);

Answer 2

There are several ways you can do this, look here for more info.

A call to window.location.reload() will do the job.

Answer 3

If you want to completely reload the page (ie resending any POST requests that may have occurred), use location.reload() . If you do this on a POST request, the browser will ask you if you want to submit the data again (if you use this technique).

If you want to avoid resending a POST request but just GET the resource this time round, use location.href = location.href .
