I have a page that gathers information from a database and shows a 
status.  Asynchronously, some other process modifies that status at a 
shortly later time.

I have placed a button on the page to do a refresh of the page. I use 
location.reload() as the onClick method.

Here are the results:
1 - Clicking the button does not show the changed status
2 - Hitting F5 does not show the changed status
3 - Clicking the refresh button on the menu bar does not show the 
changed status
4 - Clicking the arrow to the right of the address field DOES show the 
changed status.

I would like to know how I need to code my refresh button on the page so 
that it shows the changed status like #4 above.  Any help will be 
appreciated.

(I have looked quite a bit through Google, but haven't found the answer 
and changing an ini file is not really an option as this is a 
mult-purpose page -- I inherited this rather old code).
