Is it possible to (via Javascript) refresh a parent page from a child page.
I have an app that displays a list of items that the user has authority to
change. If the user selects one of the items, another window is opened
containing the details of the item. If the user changes any of the details
of the item I'd like to refresh the original (list) page.
I have the need to create a popup after a delay. The problem I'm getting is that the parent page is refreshing automatically from the action of creating the popup. I don't want the parent page to refresh!
This is what I currently have:
$popupScript = '
<script language="JavaScript">
setTimeout("window.open('index.php?do=renew','Popup1','toolbar=0, width=500, height=500')",' . $delay . ');
</script>';
The page is in php, so that's why I have it as a string, which I later pass to a template page.
This would simply be:
<script language="JavaScript">
setTimeout("window.open('index.php?do=renew','Popup1','toolbar=0, width=500, height=500')",6000);
</script>
... if it was placed straight into the HTML. Incidentally, it's included into the HTML HEAD area, not the body, as the original source of the script suggested: [URL]
$delay is the delay before the popup opens, in microseconds (so 6000 would be 6 seconds).
What can I do to have the same delayed auto-popup functionality, but without it automatically refreshing the parent page where the above code resides?
As some background to what I'm achieving: The issue with not wanting the parent page to refresh is that each time it does, the login session gets extended. The popup itself (which I already have working ok) provides a 'continue working' function, or close and refresh the parent is nothing has been done after a short period.
I have a parent page which I don't have control of. I call my child page from parent page, perform some operations and once I click update child window should close and parent window should be refreshed.Everything seems to work fine except the parent page not refreshing.I tried using window.opener.location.reload(true). But it makes a postback in the parent page and so the values that I update are lost because it makes a postback with the previous values.I tried window.opener.document.locationwindow.opener.document.location. But this doesn't refresh my parent page.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a main window, in this main window, I have just a bunch of table rows (pulled from a database) that have 'Edit' beside them... If you click 'Edit' it will pull up a seperate window that has the information in an editable format (with forms and such). The user/admin edits the information and clicks 'Submit' it loads up another page in that child window and changes it within the database.. after this has happened, it closes the child window. Now after the child window has closed, I need the parent window to refresh to allow the changes to be viewed.

browser window has been closed using the [X] button in the upper right

When I refer to child window, I mean that a link within a "parent" window has opened a new browser window.
i have a popup from the parent window which allwos the user to add in new location. when the lcoation has been added succesfully. then thewindow closes and the parent gets refreshed. In particular, just the location listbox gets updated with the new value. the location listbox i generated from the database using asp.

Is there any way to stop page from automatic refreshing?
I want to give user flexibility to refresh or not to refresh automatically as I am dealing with realtime data.
For automatic refresh I am using meta tag. Is there any way to stop automatic refreshing.
I use this code in a popup to refresh the parent browser. It works fine
as long as the user actually clicks on this link but does not work in
cases where the user closes the child popup through the Windows X
(close) button. Any way to accomodate this also?
I have home page with session close button and 10 child window link and i am opening all child window.All child windows should close after clicking on session close button. Code bellow

I have created a modal dialog. When I close it the page refreshes automatically but in my scenario the page should not do so. The code I am using is:
$(document).ready(function () {
$("#addaccount").dialog({
height: 'auto',
width: 'auto',
[Code]....
Here I am opening a div tag inside a modal dialog. There is a form submit button. When I click the submit button the modal dialog closes and the page refreshes automatically.
The crux of the problem is I only know if the popup *has been* opened,
but not if it *is* open. Therefore, the script doesn't know whether to
simply refocus, or whether to popup a fresh window.
Are these the only solutions?
* handle onerror in some creative way
* hidden frames
BTW, I do have the luxury of ignoring non IE 5.5+ browsers on this
project..
I was curious if such a thing is possible, I've seen it done before, but not exactly sure how that would work. Would it have something to do with the window.close (); function?

I am trying to usw window.open , upload a file in the child window and then referesh the parent window. But once upload is done, window . opener .location.href or opener.location.replace sends a message back but I get a pop up blocker, so if I turn pop up blocker off, it opens in new page. I just want the parent page to refresh on the same window. This works on some employees stations but not on others..I don't know if there are any settings on IE that need to change, I tried everything...weird. does any one done this before?

View 4 Replies View RelatedHow can I trap, that on closing a parent window the child window should
also get closed.
I have created and opened a child window called "checkwin" and have written some data to it. If the data is valid, I want the user to click on the 'CONFIRM' button on the child window, at which time I want the "submit()" function for the form on the parent window to be executed. If the data is invalid the user clicks on 'MODIFY' and I want focus to return to a field on the parent form. However, when I click on the "CONFIRM" or "MODIFY" buttons on the child window, nothing happens. Here is the code:
checkwin.document.write("</td></tr><tr><td align='right'><input type='button' value='CONFIRM'
onclick='opener.document.personnel_form.submit()'></td><td></td><td><input type='button' value='MODIFY'
onclick='opener.document.personnel_form.first_name.focus()'></td></tr></table>")
i want to change parent window while modal Window opening or opened

I'm trying to create code to close the child window I'm creating if the parent window is closed. Here's my code so far:
function openWindow() {
var newWin = window.open(); // open the new window
newWin.document.write('<h1>Child Window</h1>
[Code]...
The above openWindow function is used in this event: <input type="button" name="btn" onclick="openWindow()"value="Open a new window" />
I can generate the new window fine. I just can't close it if the parent window is closed.
