I composed a response to this a few days ago but it appears that reply
never got posted, so I'll try again...
Yes, you understand correctly. My 'Stats' link in my 'Main' screen loads
the 'Stats' screen via AJAX. As previously posted, I realized later that
"the window.location.reload(true) statement does not access the the
stats.php file". And yes, using the back button and reloading the page from
the 'Stats' link certainly refreshes the data as it is a new call to the
stats.php file. I was just trying to implement something a little more
intuitive and easier. ;)
While it is now obvious to me why window.location.reload(TRUE)would not
work as I first hoped (I code late at night when I'm tired :D,) and I
understand what it 'should' do, I'm still unclear of what it is doing, if
anything, in this case. "So yes of course, if you reload index.php, the
server loads what's in index.php. Aka only the 'home' screen." however...
in this case, when I touch the 'Refresh' button on the 'Stats' screen,
executing the windows.location.reload(true) function, the button highlights
and leaves me on the 'Stats' page... so obviously not reloading the
index.php. While I don't need to use this function here, it bothers me when
I don't understand something, so I'm going to experiment some more.
I did think about hunting down some of the internal iUI functions to help
with this but decided writing the function was a quicker solution. Thanks
for pointing me in the right direction, I'll look into those iUI functions
when I get a chance.
