Button that refreshes the page on click

Question

I need a button that will refresh the page on the user's click. I tried this:

<input type="button" value="Reload Page" onClick="reload">

or

<input type="button" value="Refresh Page" onClick="refresh">

But neither worked.

Answer 1

Use onClick with window.location.reload(), i.e. :

<button onClick="window.location.reload();">Refresh Page</button>

Or history.go(0), i.e.:

<button onClick="history.go(0);">Refresh Page</button>

Or window.location.href=window.location.href for 'full' reload, i.e.:

<button onClick="window.location.href=window.location.href">Refresh Page</button>
