Name

reload( ) — NN 3 IE 4 DOM 1

Synopsis

reload([unconditional])

Performs a hard reload of the document associated with the location object. This kind of reload resets form elements to their default values (for a soft reload, use history.go(0)). By default the reload( ) method performs a conditional-GET action, which retrieves the file from the browser cache if the file is still in the cache (and the cache is turned on). To force a reload from the server, force an unconditional-GET by adding the true Boolean parameter.

Returned Value

None.

Parameters

unconditional

An optional Boolean value. If true, the browser performs an unconditional-GET to force a reload of the document from the server, rather than the browser cache.
