[object Object] Error in Internet Explorer 11
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...

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:
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?

------------------------------Hi Harrison,
Yes I try to avoid JS as much as possible since it could become obsolete within Quick Base, but since there are several reports which the button appears I could not find a native way to redirect back to the page the button was clicked on.
There are a few tasks that require the use of IE, infuriating as that may be, but they are not the majority of daily tasks as far as I know. I would much prefer that they switch to a more modern browser for everyday use and use IE only when necessary. If a solution cannot be found I'm sure (barring any reason I may be unaware of) we could mandate a switch.

Hi Blake,
Thank you for the response! While this does work, it always redirects back to the form.
This button appear on several reports and I was hoping that the user could click on the button, and then have the page refreshed so that they can see the other options that appear on that report as a result.

------------------------------- The best way to handle this today in a supportable fashion is making multiple buttons. However, we will add some capabilities to formula-url buttons to better handle a redirect.

Harrison Hersch
------------------------------Ah, I was afraid that might be the case.
Then I think for the moment I the best option is to investigate the browsers that the users are working in and see if we can get them to switch over.
Thank you everyone for all your help!
