Re: Refresh with JavaScript?

Thanks to all who answered... but it still isn't working even with the
location property (which is just what I was looking for).

The problem appears to be that the browser (IE5 in my case) sees the
document as already loaded and does not reload, even when I put an empty or
non-existent anchor in the URL.

I thought of a "Pragma: no-cache" HTTP header, but the file I'm trying to
reload is straight HTML, not CGI, so I don't have access to the HTTP headers
... and Microsoft's site says that IE5 does not understand the META
equivalent.

I wish I could provide a URL for everyone, but this is in development on and
for an intranet...

Any other ideas for forcing the refresh of a frame via javascript are
welcome...

Here is my latest code, if you're interested in seeing what my last attempt
was (this code is in index.html, which establishes the nav and content
frames):

// Force a refresh on the content and nav frames
function doRefresh()
{
  alert("Attempting refresh");
  nav.location = nav.location + "#" + Math.random();
  content.location = content.location + "#" + Math.random();
}
