Page 288 of Danny Goodman's JavaScript Bible 3rd ed. showcases the reload()
method which would look something like this (after you obtained/gave credit
to Danny and Alex Trebeck and everyone else):
<script>
function hardReload() {location.reload()}
</script>
in the head tags, and then:
<input type="button" value="Start Over" onClick="hardReload">
somewhere obvious

> I created a "Harry Potter Jeopardy" type game for our library using HTML.
> The idea was simple enough for a single use.  Start out with a table with
> the categories, etc. that looks like the Jeopardy screen.  Click on
> "Hogwarts for 200" which is a link to the page with the "answer" for that
> square.  People give the response in the form of a question.  Click on a
> back button, and you return to the main Jeopardy board which now does not
> display "200" because the visited link color is set to the same color as
the
> background.  This works great for a single use, but if somebody wanted to
> play the game twice they'd have to clear their history of visiting the
> "potter" site.

> We're considering posting a version of this game on our website, but I
need
> suggestions on the multiple use/visited link site problem.  I'm thinking
> that I'll probably have to do some JavaScript work to get what I want
(links
> to visited questions aren't visible anymore during the session the game is
> played, or history of visited links could be cleared easily without having
> to explain to people how to clear the history), but I'm not sure where to
> start.  Any suggestions?  Consider me new to but willing to learn
> JavaScript.
