For speedy data entry, I'd like a new, blank form to load after I've submitted the data

Hi there,

I have a custom object, and created a Visualforce page to make it easy for people to add new records for this object.  After submitting the form, the user is taken to the page for that new object.  What I'd like to do is take them to a new, empty form so they can quickly and easily enter an additional record.  

I tried to use the "oncomplete" attribute on my command button, but it's not working.  What am I missing?

Thanks in advance! 

Here's the code:
 
<!-- Typeahead form plus saving / updating -->
<apex:page standardController="Book__c" showHeader="false" sidebar="False" title="Receive a Book">

   <script type="text/javascript">
   function reloadme(){
       window.location.href="https://c.na17.visual.force.com/apex/EBCBP_Receive_Books?sfdc.tabName=01ro0000000Wc30";
   }
   </script>
   
   <div class="messages"> 
    <apex:messages />
   </div>
   
    <apex:form target="_self">
    
    <div class="entry-form">
        <img src="http://eastbaychildrensbookproject.org/new/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/ebcbp_headergraphic.png"/>

                destinationForSelectedId="accountId" destinationForSelectedValue="accountName" stealFocus="false" />

        <input type="hidden" name="accountName" id="accountName" />     

        <apex:commandButton action="{!save}" value="Save" oncomplete="reloadme()"/>


    </div>
    </apex:form>

</apex:page>

Thanks Vivek!  I didn't really understand what was happening at the stack exchange page above the first time I looked at it.

I tried the initial suggestion you provided, but it looks like the commandButton action didn't want to do the reload.  When I changed the command button to this, it works:
 
<apex:actionFunction name="saveActionFunc" action="{!Save}" oncomplete="reloadme()" />
        <apex:commandButton value="Save" onClick="saveActionFunc();"/>

Thanks so much for your pointers!

Anca.
