Question

I’m currently working on this really simple text based game and to play again, you have to refresh the page. This seems to work in Opera and Chrome, but it’s not resetting the page in Firefox. Here is the function I’m using.

$(function() {
    $('#play_again').click(function() {
        var answer = confirm ("Reset the game?")
        if (answer) {
        window.location.reload(); 
        }
    });
});

I think Firefox is caching the page or something. How could I make this work?

Answer 1

this is something that’s hard to do, but you can trick IE’s and firefox’s cache into thinking it’s a new page by adding a random querystring. Can you try something like

window.location.href = window.location.href + '?refresh';
