Re: page auto reload after new window closed

This would prevent nonjavascript browsers from submiting the form. Better would be to use the page that comes after submiting: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"> <html> <head> <title>Form submited successfully</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html"> <link rel="stylesheet" href="styles.css" type="text/css"> </head> <body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000" onLoad="window.opener.location.reload(); window.close()"> <h3>Form submited successfully</h3><br> <input type="button" value="Close" onClick="window.close()"> </body> </html> Ernest E Vogelsinger wrote:

Sorry for this kind of post but i cant find a better mailing list for javascript. I have a problem in refreshing my php page script. Im using javascript to open new window for editing purposes. But i want my opener opener page to auto reload upon submit in my new window.

--------------------[snip]-------------------- Use JavaScript, for example. There is a window property called "opener" which is a handle to the window which opened the popup. Upon form submit, you could: <script language="JavaScript"> function submitForm(form) { document.forms[form].submit(); window.opener.location.reload(); window.close(); return true; } </script> ...within your form code... <form name="myform" method="post" action="something"> ...your form contents... <button value="Submit this" onClick="submitForm(myform)"> </form>
