Refreshing the page with java script but I want to post something to refreshed page

Question

I am in sort of a pickle right now. I am trying to refresh my java page but I want to post some new data to it. But the issue is I don't know where to start. All I know is the location.reload() is there a way I can do a location reload but send new data to the refreshed paged?

Edit: Sorry I got this wrong. I have a script that always has a different url so I cant just do the new location to 'http ://...../' so I need a way I can pass values without that

With QueryStrings? `?data=newdata` – TryingToImprove Mar 13 '13 at 15:31 — TryingToImprove, Mar 13 '13 at 15:31
Just make a form with the action to the same page? – mcryan Mar 13 '13 at 15:33 — mcryan, Mar 13 '13 at 15:33
can we have some better context? – Sam I am says Reinstate Monica Mar 13 '13 at 19:11 — Sam I am says Reinstate Monica, Mar 13 '13 at 19:11

You can:

use window.location.href = '/your-url?param1=value&etc=...' to send data as query string
create a form with your url as the action, add fields and then submit it (this makes it possible to submit your data using POST)

Two ways are there:

1. window.location.href = 'http://www.yoursite.com?data1=val1&data2=val2';

2. window.location = 'http://www.yoursite.com?data1=val1&data2=val2';

1st method is always suggested as best practice. Refer: here
