I'm trying to refresh a page and then run a function once the refresh has been completed. However the code I have now, runs the function and then it only refreshes it, meaning I lose what the function did. Is there a way to solve this?
My code
function reloadP(){
document.location.reload();
myFunction();
}
<button onclick: "reloadP()">Click</button>
You need to call myFunction()
when the page is loaded.
window.onload = myFunction;
If you only want to run it when the page is reloaded, not when it's loaded for the first time, you could use sessionStorage
to pass this information.
window.onload = function() {
var reloading = sessionStorage.getItem("reloading");
if (reloading) {
sessionStorage.removeItem("reloading");
myFunction();
}
}
function reloadP() {
sessionStorage.setItem("reloading", "true");
document.location.reload();
}
