Question

I currently have a link of the following format:

<a href='export.php' onClick='history.go(0)'>Export</a> 

The export page returns a csv file so the main page that the link is clicked on is not refreshed, however I want this to happen.

How can I make the current page refresh after clicking the link?

Thanks.

Answer 1

I can try to guess at the code:

<script>
$(document).ready(function(event){
  $(".exportLink").click(function(event){

    window.location.reload();
    //export.php is called after this clickEvent completes, or you could $.get it at the start of this function
  });
});
</script>

html code I used:

<a href='export.php' class="exportLink">Export</a>
