Javascript document.location.reload does not work

When I used document.location.reload() as in case1 below, it doesn't work. But when I add an alert() as in case2, it works. I want to figure out what happened?

//case1: does not work
document.location='rc_msg.php?remove=0';
document.location.reload(); 
//case2: work
document.location='rc_msg.php?remove=0';
document.location.reload(); 
alert("OK!!");

I did not notice I entered '=' twice, I am sorry about that. I had tried the opinion solution below, but they did not work neither

document.location returns a string, now deprecated and replaced by document.URI.

window.location (or location) is an object with a reload method.

Do you want to test the location (double equals) or assign it the new location (single equals)?

Try:

document.location='rc_msg.php?remove=0';
document.location.reload();
