javascript - php reload page without posting data

Question

I'm trying to refresh a page without sending POST from the previous time.

I've tried

window.open("postme.php?r=t", "_self");

Which appends a ?r=t to the end but it doesn't appear to refresh the page as the page displays a number of files in a directory which hasn't change even though I have moved or deleted them.

Can you specify the URL in window.location.reload();?

Any ideas?

Thanks

If you want to avoid having refresh reporting data (for any reason, including the user clicking the reload button) then use the POST-REDIRECT-GET pattern.
