Refresh previous window before going back to it

camillaj · Sep 30, 2003

How can I refresh my previous window.
The thing is I want the previous window to be refreshed when user clicks a "goback button" (refresh the window he goes back to). I tried to put a
window.location.reload() in <body onload=..> in that previous window, but that causes a reload loop.

I tried with something like this:
function reload() {
window.location.reload(-1);is there another way to dothis!
window.history.go(-1);
}

But the first line doesn't work!!

Thanks

a better way is to empty the cache. u cannot stop the back from displaying a cached page. there is literally no way to do this in javascript...
