well, you might try something like this

window.location.href = document.location

You might try putting it in something like this

<FORM>
<INPUT TYPE="Button" NAME="Reload this page" onClick="window.location.href =
document.location">
</FORM>

or something like that, i haven't tried it actually, so you might try some
kind of hybrid of this code. hope you get the general idea.

I used something similar to this in my Help system on my own page. when
clicking then INDEX button, it actually loads the help index page in another
frame. check it out.

Note: My help system has been known to crash with Macs.
