Question

I am using location.replace to reload a page that uses GET variables for a success message.

My problem is, if the URL in the location.replace is exactly the same the page does not reload. I know that if I can use a condition and use location.reload() this will answer my question by I do not know how to use an IF statement on a location.replace, or any other way this could be done.

So when calling the location.replace('?success=1'); whilst ?success=1 is already in the URL the page does not reload.

Could anyone shed some light on this?

Thanks

 if(window.location.href.match(/[?]success=1/))
    window.location.reload();
    else
    window.location.replace('?success=1')
