Windows.history.back() + location.reload() jquery

window.history.back(); Sometimes it's an issue with javascript compatibility with ajax call or design-related challenges.

I would use this below function for go back with the refresh.

function GoBackWithRefresh(event) {
    if ('referrer' in document) {
        window.location = document.referrer;
        /* OR */
        //location.replace(document.referrer);
    } else {
        window.history.back();
    }
}

In your html, use:

<a href="#" onclick="GoBackWithRefresh();return false;">BACK</a>`

For more customization you can use history.js plugins.

This is the correct answer. It will refresh the previous page.

window.location=document.referrer;

It will have already gone back before it executes the reload.

You would be better off to replace:

window.history.back();
location.reload(); 

with:

window.location.replace("pagehere.html");
