I am trying to reload current page with different url hash, but it doesn't work as expected.

(Clarification how I want it to work: Reload the page and then scroll to the new hash.)

Approach #1:

window.location.hash = # + newhash;

Only scrolls to this anchor without reloading the page.

Approach #2:

window.location.hash = # + newhash;

window.location.reload(true);

Kinda works but it first scrolls to the anchor, then reloads the page, then scrolls to the anchor again.

Approach #3:

window.location.href = window.location.pathname + window.location.search + &random= + Math.round(Math.random()*100000) + # + newhash;

Works but I would rather not add random garbage to the url.

Is there a better solution?
