How to reload a page after the OK click on the Ale

Question

I need to reload the page after the OK button is clicked on the Alert box. I am using the following code for it

alert("Successful Message");
window.location.reload();

But the window is reloaded immediately after displaying the alertbox. Please Help me in it

Answer 1

Try this:

alert("Successful Message");
location.reload();

Answer 2

use confirm box instead....

    var r = confirm("Successful Message!");
    if (r == true){
      window.location.reload();
    }

Answer 3

Confirm gives you chance to click on cancel, and reload will not be done!

Instead, you can use something like this:

if(alert('Alert For your User!')){}
else    window.location.reload(); 

This will display alert to your user, and when he clicks OK, it will return false and reload will be done! :) Also, the shorter version:

if(!alert('Alert For your User!')){window.location.reload();}

I hope that this helped!? :)

Answer 4

I may be wrong here but I had the same problem, after spending more time than I'm proud of I realised I had set chrome to block all pop ups and hence kept reloading without showing me the alert box. So close your window and open the page again.

If that doesn't work then you problem might be something deeper because all the solutions already given should work.
