No refresh button!

I don't see a refresh button and nothing in the customizing window.

Hi All Refresh Button lovers, like me.

I've found this solution while surfing the web for an answer.

Copy and paste this:

javascript:location.reload();

Put it into your bookmark bar, any order your like.

Then, rename it obviously, like [ R ] or something.

Once you hit this while surfing, it will refresh/reload your viewing homepage!

I understand that 'Java' stuff might be the problem of hanging-Safari 4 issues.
But, for me, having this 'Refresh' button-ish in the Bookmark bar does help ease my frustration of No-'Reload'-button-option.

Should work in any other browser.

Enjoy!

Hi Again,

As for a self-update,
I have also posted on these threads:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2033937
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2031329

A kind and thoughtful poster has corrected this,
and suggested that the javascript should be this:

javascript:location.reload(true);

Please also read this:

And the suggested name to use is symbol ♻
(recycling symbol: selected from the Character Pallette),
or and arrangement of it.

Hope this helps!
