Automatic refresh using jQuery

Can anyone tell the jQuery code for automatic refreshing of a page?

i am using something like this - 

    jQuery(".form_" + form_count).html("<div id='message'></div>")
    jQuery('#message').html("<center><h2><br><br>Thank You Your form has been submitted.</h2></center>")
window.setTimeout(function() {
    history.go(-1);
}, 1950);

Now what i want is that after the browser has moved one page back to history that page should be refreshed . I tried using the above answers but no help.

I've used...

window.location = window.location

But it turns out that...

window.location.reload();

...exists, and it also more semantically correct. Pass an argument as true if you'd like to trigger a hard reload.

Of course, this is not jQuery. Remember jQuery is a JavaScript framework.

window.location.reload() is equivalent to pressing the reload button in your browser. window.location = window.location is equivalent to pressing enter in the address bar.

When you call window.location.reload(), all other resources are also revalidated. This means the cache fresness for all stylesheets, scripts and images is checked by performing extra HTTP-requests. At least in Firefox this behavior exists, I don't know how other browsers behave.

window.location.reload()

No jQuery needed for this.
