Tedd,

I suspect that your problem is indicated by your use of the 
expression "at the same time."  Which do you want to occur first, the 
page refresh or the ajax request?  Obviously the page refresh must 
come first, otherwise the ajax-delivered content will be obliterated 
by the page refresh.

I suggest you explore this path:  reload the page with a querystring 
that indicates the desired ajax request, then after page load have 
javascript collect the desired content.  Something along the lines of 
http://example.com/testpage.html?ajax=rock

Regards,
Paul
