Force reload or refresh page 3

[khue]

Problem: when user clicks a button or link to open a new page, the data that gets display does not show up. I would have to tell the user to manually do a reload or refresh inorder to get the new data to be displayed.

How can I force a page to reload or refresh automatically so that the new data gets displayed and not the old data from the last time?

document.reload(true)

Put this in the head of your document:

<META http-equiv=&quot;refresh&quot; content=&quot;0; Url=entirestate.html&quot;>

content=&quot;<how many seconds until page is reloaded>;

Url=&quot;<what url you want the page to go to>&quot;

Hope this helps. ~Steve

A broken clock is correct twice per day.

A roomful of monkeys on typwriters will eventually write the great american novel.

If you gave an infinate number of rednecks, an infinate number of shotguns to shoot at an infinate number of street signs, they'd eventually recreate all of Shakespears works in braile.

I add this to the META tag area to keep the page from caching to begin with. I hate pages that reload automatically. Especially if they contain forms.

<META HTTP-EQUIV=&quot;Pragma&quot; CONTENT=&quot;no-cache&quot;>
