There are many ways to reload / refresh a page in javascript. One of them is as in discoveringsharepoint.wordpress.com describes:

window.location.reload()
```Today I found some tools which are shipped with ASP.NET/SharePoint to reload a page. The big advantage of them they are designed to work with SharePoint and take all possible aspects of page life cycle into account. The javascript function to refresh a page is just called, guess..: **RefreshPage** and it resides in init.js:

//init.js: function RefreshPageTo(evt, url, bForceSubmit) {ULSA13:; CoreInvoke(’_RefreshPageTo’, evt, url, bForceSubmit); }
