Re: Header() to a different browser instance

Sorry about 2 replys. Something just clicked. Why couldn't you just do something like this: in current_properties.phtml <head><title>blah</title> <script language="javascript"> window.name="parentwindow"; child=open("add_property.phtml","childwindow"); function closechild(){ if (child!=null) if (child.name=="childwindow") child.close(); } </script> </head> <body onUnload="closechild()"> in add_property.phtml, get rid of the close and redirect stuff and do this: <form action="add_property.php" method="post" target="parentwindow"> ... <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Add"> ----- Original Message ----- From: "eric" <edahnke@istreetlabs.com> To: <php-general@lists.php.net>; <dgw@q-logic.org>; <Boz@musheen.com> Sent: Monday, July 10, 2000 3:15 PM Subject: Re: [Fwd: Re: [PHP] Header() to a different browser instance] > > Hello, > > Thanks a lot for the input.
