Hello, I have created a Formula Rich Text button that checks a box and reloads the page. The function works flawlessly in Chrome and Edge, but when using Internet Explorer 11 I get a blank page wit...

Have you tried location.reload(true)? That is the only solution I am finding. I don't have internet explorer installed to test with though.

    Hi Austin,

    Yes my apologies I forgot to include the other attempted syntaxes.

    I have tried:

    location.reload();
    location.reload(true);
    window.location.reload();
    window.location.reload(true);
    histroy.go(0);

    All of which give the [object Object] error


    I have also tried:
    window.location=window.location
    window.location.href=window.location.href

    Both of these execute the API call, but seem to freeze the page without refreshing it. 

    *Edit* had the order of "location" and "window" accidentally reversed

      If the button is only doing these two functions - checking a field and then reloading the page, you can build the button without the JS. Here is how I would suggest:

      var text chk = "&_FID_34="; var text tk = "token"; "<a class='Vibrant Alert' & href=" & URLRoot() & "db/" & Dbid() & "?a=API_EditRecord&apptoken=" & $tk & "&rid=" & [Record ID#] & $chk & "1" & "&rdr=" & URLEncode(URLRoot() & "db/" & Dbid() & "?a=dr&rid=" & [Record ID#]) & ">Check and Refresh</a>"​
      Just update the FID and the Token in the Var's and you should be good to go.

        Hi Peter - as Blake mentioned, doing this natively is the best method. We technically do not support JavaScript in formulas. Also, IE11 has a lot of interesting oddities that might cause things like this. Do you mind if I ask if there is a reason your users aren't on a more modern browser?
