HTML/JQuery redirect after user reloads the page

Question

How can I do a redirect to another HTML page after a user reloads the page? I don't want to do it automatically, therefore can't use http-equiv="refresh". Any ideas? Thanks

Below function will make sure, If your page is loaded for first time or its a page refresh. Then you may add your code accordingly.

<form name="refreshForm">
<input type="hidden" name="visited" value="" /> 
 // above Hidden field to store value of your page load status
</form>

function checkRefresh()
{
    if( document.refreshForm.visited.value == "" )
    {
        // This is a fresh page load
        document.refreshForm.visited.value = "1";
    }
    else
    {
             // This is a page refresh    
            window.location.replace("http://google.com");
             // Or , Use either of them
            window.location.href = "http://google.com";
    }
}

You could trigger an event on when the F5 key is pressed:-

document.onkeydown = fkey;
document.onkeypress = fkey
document.onkeyup = fkey;

var wasPressed = false;

function fkey(e){
        e = e || window.event;
       if( wasPressed ) return; 

        if (e.keyCode == 116) {
             window.location = "http://www.yoururl.com";;
            wasPressed = true;
        }
 }
