Hello!

I'm looking for a script that can reload a page immidietly when the surfer enters it, but only ONCE.

You could try something like this but it kind of depends on how you are already using the querystring:

if(document.location.search.substr(1)!="reloaded")location=location.href+"?reloaded"

thank you! it's working perfect! :thumbsup:

is it possible to get rid of the ?reloaded extension at the url? it's not important, just want to know if it's possible :)

Not using this method, thats how it knows it has been reloaded once.

there is another way of doing this.

<head>
<script>

if (window.name!="reloaded") doRefresh();

function doRefresh(){
window.name="reloaded";
location.reload();
}
</script>
</head>

if the current window or frame is not a target of any link or form, then you can do the trick with window.name. This property persists even if the page has unloaded.

why not just use a meta tag to refresh the page?
I have a similar question in the cgi board so....maybe this is my answer:)
Oh no wait that would referesh the page multiple times....

oh well

I am wondering how to use this reload once script when a back button is pressed? Certain select boxes disappear and have to do a refresh but only once.
Thanks

not sure ya can
of course you could axe the browser toolbars and add in your own back button to do this

if(document.location.search.substr(1)!="reloaded")location=location.href+"?reloaded"

I used this above. The problem is that I have to use the browsers BACK button to get back to the original page...this doesn't work for that...

any ideas??

Thanks!!
Andrea :eek:

boy is this easy and yet I'm drawing a blank
go offline and type in a webpage URL
hold your mouse over the text part that says "Back"
it's history-1 or something like that

sorry, overtired.
use that code

hope this blather helps

my boss won't let me use a back button...it has to be the browsers button...

I'm stumped:

See it in action at:

Got it

location.replace(targetURL);

This doesn't record any history in the browser...so I have a redirect page from the posted page which does this piece of code...works great.

see it if you'd like:

if(document.location.search.substr(1)!="reloaded")location=location.href+"?reloaded"
sorry to ask but I'm a JS newbie here.
Would like to ask what's "document.location.search.substr(1)" ?
Or can you show me the website that explains this ?

The more correct form is window.location rather than document.location, although browsers also support the latter.

Anyway, here's the reference about location.search:

and substr:
