IE5 location.reload() "type mismatch error", but works under IE6

Bill #1 / 5	IE5 location.reload() "type mismatch error", but works under IE6 Ok... I give up. Why does this simple HTML INPUT line work fine under IE6... but gives a "type mismatch error" under IE5? ... or do I have something else set differently/wrong somewhere? (Both are W2K machines.) input id=cmdReturn type=button value="<=Return to Main Menu" style="font-weight:bold;" onclick="location.reload('MyMain.asp')" Is there a work-around? Thanks.

Atrax #3 / 5	IE5 location.reload() "type mismatch error", but works under IE6 surely reload() doesn't take arguments?? shouldn't it be self.location.href = 'whatever.asp'; ? here you go "location.reload([force]) where force is an optional boolean value indicating whether the document should be reloaded even if it hasn't changed since last reload." so obviously a type mismatch. surprised you can get away with this in IE6, though. ________________________________________ I got bored with my old signature, so I changed it Atrax.

McKiraha #5 / 5	IE5 location.reload() "type mismatch error", but works under IE6 I'm using IE5.5 (Win98) and the following works: <html> <head> <title>reload.htm</title> <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript"> <!-- alert(location); // --> </script> </head> <body> <form method="post"> <input type="button" value="<=Return to Main Menu" style="font-weight:bold;" onclick="location.reload()"> </form> </body> </html> I added the JavaScript "Alert()" to let you know when the page reloads.
