# JavaScript - Page Refresh

You can refresh a web page using JavaScript location.reload method. This code can be called automatically upon an event or simply when the user clicks on a link.

If you want to refresh a web page using a mouse click then you can use following code:

    <a href="javascript:location.reload(true)">Refresh Page</a>

# Auto Refresh:

You can also use JavaScript to refresh the page automatically after a given time period. Following is the example which would refresh this page after every 5 seconds. You can change this time as per your requirement.

    <html>
    <head>
    <script type="text/JavaScript">
    <!--
    function AutoRefresh( t ) {
    	setTimeout("location.reload(true);", t);
    }
    //   -->
    </script>
    </head>
    <body onload="JavaScript:AutoRefresh(5000);">
    <p>This page will refresh every 5 seconds.</p>
    </body>
    </html>

Here setTimeout() is a built-in JavaScript function which can be used to execute another function after a given time interval.
