function reload() { location.reload(); }

Usage

reload(); // e.g. the page loads again; browsers may restore form fields and scroll position

Reviewed, not executed: calling it navigates away from the page.

Know the limits

• Reloading discards in-memory state. Prefer updating the part of the page that changed.
• The original’s alternative, location.href = location.href, does not reload when the URL has a fragment: it only scrolls.

The function above is the code the usage lines run. It does not validate its arguments; add checks where it receives untrusted input.

Keep exploring

• Check if a given DOMRect is contained within another DOMRect — True when the target lies inside the container or on its edges.
• Check if two DOMRects intersect — Two rects intersect when they meet on both axes.
• Compare two DOMRects for size and position match — Compare x, y, width and height exactly.
