I have some few lines of codes which I want to run after page reload.

function showServicesList(){
    location.reload();

    /*
    *   Statement1
    *   Statement2
    *   Statement3
    *   Statement4
    */
}   

Page is refreshing, but the statement below after location.reload doesn't execute. Any help in this ?

• 2 location.reload() will immediately reload the page as if you had reloaded/refreshed it manually. Any context is lost and you're script execution is halted never making it to any other statement. – phuzi Commented May 21, 2014 at 14:19
• Do you only want to run the rest of the code after the reload or would it be ok to run it on first load? – phuzi Commented May 21, 2014 at 14:32

Well. If you reload your page, any JavaScript is stopped and reloaded too. If you want your code to run AFTER the page is reloaded you could add a hash.

window.location.hash = "triggerReloadCode";
window.location.reload();

if (window.location.hash.substr(1) == "triggerReloadCode") {
    window.location.hash = "";
    /* Statements */
}

I don't know if that's best practice, but I would trigger it like this.
