This tutorial will show you how to refresh the current page using JavaScript?

You can use location.reload() method to reloads the current page.

Syntax:

location.reload(forcedReload);

Here, By default, the location.reload() method reloads the page from the cache. so you need to reload the page from server by using forcedReload parameter like below:

location.reload(true);

Example:

<script type="text/javascript">
document.write(new Date());

function ReloadPage(){
   // Reload the current page, without using the cache
   document.location.reload(true);
}
</script>

<input type="button" onclick="ReloadPage()" />
