Javascript: Refresh parent page without entirely reloading
html, javascript
Solution
Another way of reloading the page i have seen in the facebook graph api is the following:
window.location = window.location
or in your case:
window.top.location = window.top.location
This solution reloads the page without trying to resend a `POST` request. Might be useful. for more information look at the following SO question.
Problem
After a user has logged in via a fancybox (javascript) popup I wish to reload the parent page so they can access the logged in features. Currently I am doing this with: ``` <a href="javascript:window.top.location.reload(true)" class="continue">Continue</a> ``` This works great, but the only issue is that it completely reloads the entire page: redownloads all the css & javascipt, etc. All I want to do is reload the page normally, not a full refresh. How can I achieve this? (I do not know the exact URL because the login can be done from any page via the fancybox, so I can't hardcode the URL.)
