    There is another approach here:

    it is not supported but if thats a must-have requirement you might need to deal with it the right way. So add the appropriate try catch block and be aware that with future releases your scripts might not work.

    Hi Vijay ,

    Seems there is no supported way you can do this , either you need to reload , redirect with current URL or you can achieved this using  accessing DOM.

    So as per Microsoft all are unsupported , so to fulfill  customer requirement you need to choose right approach to deal with the requirement .

    For me Andreas answer is correct , by doing this your page wont be reload and customer will accept this easily as by doing this your page will not reload  completely and its internally calling supported method , you just need to do null check to get the control that's all.

    But if you write like window.top.location.href = "url" or window.top.location.reload() your page will reload completely which is at all not a good solution.
