Question

window.location.reload() is supported in all browsers, according to w3schools

But what's with window.location.reload(true) which reloads the page without cache? How well is it supported?

Was it helpful?

Solution

location.reload() takes no arguments in the specification, so do not rely on it. It is implemented in some browsers though, including Mozilla Firefox.

OTHER TIPS

reload() is supposed to accept an argument which tells it to do a hard reload, ie, ignoring the cache:

location.reload(true);

Note : I don`t think just saying that it is supported with FF is right, here it is clearly mentioned that it is supported by other browser as well.
