How do I make the page refresh in Javascript

Question

So I want to make a script like this:

window.location = "http://m.roblox.com/Catalog/VerifyPurchase?assetid=122174821&type=robux&expectedPrice=1"
document.getElementsByClassName('buyButtonClass')[1].click()

but I don't know how to make the page refresh and the code start over without it having to manually be entered again Thanks

By the way it will be running in Google Chrome Dev. tools Console

I tried

function blah() {
// window.location = "http://m.roblox.com/Catalog/VerifyPurchase?
assetid=122174821&type=robux&expectedPrice=1"
document.getElementsByClassName('buyButtonClass')[1].click()
if (some_condition) {
blah() // rerun the code
}
}

Output was "undefined", the script did nothing.

The script goes to a link, clicks a button (currently it doesn't click for some reason) then restarts the script (not working)

Please give us the big picture, why are you refreshing the page? why do you need to click the button? — omma2289

I agree, let's see what your purpose is first. May want to reconsider the approach / flow. — kikuchiyo

setting window.location = ... will refresh the page, but stuff after that will not trigger, because you just refreshed the page including all the javascript. You can put the code you want to trigger in a $(document).ready(function(){your_code_here}); call and when the page refreshes, it will set up your click event.

What would the completed script look like?

Let's focus on the big picture like @Anderson suggested first in the comments to your question above.

It is a bot that presses a buy button on the page, and it refreshes because the buy button might not be there – Notheir 1 min ago edit
