To reload a page using JavaScript, use:

window.location.reload();

Shortest (more)

history.go()

This should work:

window.location.href = window.location.href.split( '#' )[0];

or

var x = window.location.href;
x = x.split( '#' );
window.location.href = x[0];

I prefer this for the following reasons:

  • Removes the part after the #, ensuring the page reloads on browsers that won't reload content that has it.
  • It doesn't ask you if want to repost last content if you recently submit a form.
  • It should work even on most recent browsers. Tested on Lasted Firefox and Chrome.

Alternatively, you may use the most recent official method for this task

window.location.reload()

The Javascript reload() method is used to reload the current document or URL. The javascript location.reload(true) method work just like reload button in your browser. By default, the JS reload() method reloads the page from the cache, however you may force it to reload the page from the server side by setting the forceGet parameter to true: location. reload(true).

What about Depricated? It is only the reload with forcedReload which is now deprecated. But to avoid depricated error you can use location.reload() without the forceReload flag.
