How to Refresh Previous Page

[alex070153]

We have pages A and B.
From page A, we go to page B.
On Page B, there will be a button to refresh A (previous page).

How to do this?
Is there a referrer.refresh command?

Well, you can't refresh the page, but if you put this at the top:

<meta http-equiv=&quot;Cache-Control&quot; content=&quot;no-cache, must-revalidate&quot;>
<meta http-equiv=&quot;Pragma&quot; content=&quot;nocache&quot;>

Then it will refresh everytime you go back to it, even if you back up to it. Is that what you wanted?

opener.document.location.reload(true);

does that help?

Thanks, but no cigar. It doesn't refresh.

Is window b a popup window? If so, you should be able to do this:

window.opener.location = window.opener.location;

I think that should work...

No it is not a pop-up.

>> From page A, we go to page B.

Ok then you need to define that more clearly.

Usually, Refresh means reloading the current page into the browser. Current page is a page B in your case. What do mean when you say &quot;refresh A&quot;?

More of a description:

Conditional Refresh Based on Previous Page
When you arrive in page A, we want to check what the previous page was and do a refresh based depending on what page was

If previous page is B (

http://www.whitehouse.gov

or *.gov, etc)
then Refresh
otherwise
do not refresh

you'll need to use cookies or some other method to avoid an infinite loop, but:

if (document.referrer.indexOf(&quot;whitehouse.gov&quot > -1) {
location.reload();
}
