Javascript not reloading page when using location.replace a second time with the same URL

Question

I am using location.replace to reload a page that uses GET variables for a success message.

My problem is, if the URL in the location.replace is exactly the same the page does not reload. I know that if I can use a condition and use location.reload() this will answer my question by I do not know how to use an IF statement on a location.replace, or any other way this could be done.

So when calling the location.replace('?success=1'); whilst ?success=1 is already in the URL the page does not reload.

Could anyone shed some light on this?

Thanks

In which browser are you experiencing the issue? The following works fine in Firefox 14/Chrome 20: location.replace(location.href); (via console). The only case where the page is not refreshed is when the URL contains a URL fragment (#). — Rob W

 if(window.location.href.match(/[?]success=1/))
    window.location.reload();
    else
    window.location.replace('?success=1')
