I am trying to use
<input type="submit" name="add" class="buy" onClick="setTimeout('history.go(0);',2000);"/>
It reloads the page on click after two seconds in chrome but it doesnt work in Firefox.
I went through this Why does window.location.reload need setTimeout to work in firefox. It still didn't work for me. Please help me find a way I can achieve my required functionality accross both browsers.
javascript cross-browser

While a string of code is a valid parameter tosetTimeout, it is fraught with the same issues thatevalhas. Why not pass a function that callshistory.go(0)instead?

@chazsolo I tried history.go(0) but it doesn't refresh all the fields on the page in the chrome and doesn't work in Firefox.

You triedsetTimeout(function() { history.go(0); }, 2000);? Can you provide an MCVE to help us understand?

@chazsolo on the page which I want to refresh on click has fields like height width counter_number which are supposed to be zero on refresh. All these field refresh when I click the button in chrome but this onclick function doesnt work in firefox.

This is how I made it work.
<input type="submit" name="add" class="buy" onClick="timeDelay()"/>
<script>
function timeDelay(){
setTimeout(function(){
window.location.reload(true);
},6000);
}
</script>
