How to reload page once only without repeating loading

Question

I have the following code to reload page only once after submitting some data using JQuery.

code to reload page :

update: the url here is not ending with '?' because it has parameter value for example: http://localhost:49208/UserView.aspx?id=12

  var url = window.location.href;
    if (url.indexOf('?') > -1) 
        {
         window.location.href = url;
        }

The problem here is that page reloading does not stop?

add a new query string key value that says &alreadyReloaded=yes and check for it in your javascript — Pedro Estrada

The reason it won't stop reloading is because you aren't changing the conditions of the url; so if the if statement is ever true, it will happen again and again.

If you want to reload the page, just use window.location.reload();

Try this logic.

if (url.indexOf('?') == -1) {
    url = url + '?';
    location = '?';
    location.reload(true);
}

Easiest way is to add a flag variable so that javascript can check whether the page is reloaded previously.

 var url = window.location.href; // get the current url of page into variable
 if (url.indexOf('?') > -1) { // url has a '?'
     if(url.indexOf('reloaded') < 0){ // url does not have the text 'reloaded'
          url = url + "&reloaded=true"; // add the word 'reloaded' to url
          window.location = url; // "reload" the page
     }
 }

If you want to reload the page only once, use the following method:

    if(!window.location.hash) {
       window.location = window.location + '#loaded';
       window.location.reload();
     }
