I have a small asp file that runs inside of a frame. Is there any way that i can do a CTRL+F5 type of refresh and reload the whole browser window. I've tried parent.location.reload(true), location.reload(), and quite a few others. The page doesnt seem to want to redirect. If i do a CTRL+F5 on my keyboard it reloads fine. Any help is much appreciated

also i need to refresh/update my .js files in the browser through CTRL+F5

Try following, FIrst of all in your <head> tag put following two lines

<meta http-equiv=Cache-control content=no-cache>

<meta http-equiv=Expires content=-1>

and then You can use location.reload(true)
