Can I use jQuery.load() or and other jQuery function to load the entire page?
Edit: I am looking for the ability to include data that the jQuery functions offer.

Any more specifics? Are you trying to reload on click? At an interval?user241244– user2412442010-03-03 04:30:34 +00:00Commented Mar 3, 2010 at 4:30

@Pointy henchman's answer seems to offer a bit of value to this question- using JQuery to boot. Not that I disagree with you about OP's misunderstanding.Matt Luongo– Matt Luongo2010-03-03 04:58:20 +00:00Commented Mar 3, 2010 at 4:58

You don't need jQuery for that. Just do:
window.location.reload();

For those who can't get this to work - it may be that your page is cached, which you can solve by adding this neat trick: stackoverflow.com/questions/6338800/…
As you would like to have the information in a new page (the old being totaly replaced by new content IS a new page), ajax is not the answer, because it is used to place new content in an old page.
i would recommend injecting a form into the current page using javascript and submitting this form programmatically.
Quick'n'dirty (untested):
$("#formsPlaceholder").append('<form action="newpage" method="post" id="newForm"><input type="textfield" name="foo" value="bar"/></form>');
$("#newForm").submit();

No need for jQuery. location.reload(); will do it.

Do you want to refresh the page, or load the contents of a file into the page? To refresh the page you can call window.history.go(). To load another page into the body of this page, you can call $("body").load("path/to/other/page.html"). The other html page should not include the html, head or body tags, just the content of the body.

I also have a lot of stuff in the head, is it possible to just do the entire page?
Putting the following at the required point should re: GET the page... unless i'm mistaken..
window.location = window.location;
