• javascript
• php
• jquery
• ajax

• If you reload the page, what's the point of all the other actions you have in the success callback? – Barmar Commented Jan 9, 2014 at 16:37
• the other actions are not going to be there , i will remove them when i manage to make the page reload – charlie Commented Jan 9, 2014 at 16:37
• Refreshing the page will nuke any changes you did to the page inside the success handler... – Marc B Commented Jan 9, 2014 at 16:38

Use location.reload(); to reload the page

if(res.indexOf("success")!=-1)
{
    location.reload();
}

Refer : MDN

you can use location.reload();

Using location.reload() https://developer.mozilla/en-US/docs/Web/API/Location.reload:

     if(res.indexOf("success")!=-1)
        {
            location.reload();
        }

If you want to override cache, add a true parameter: location.reload(true);

Cheers
