I have a popup window that opens from a page on my website.
This popup is a form with several fields.
Upon submit button it redirects to a server side ASP page which writes
all data to the DB.
I would like the popup to close immediately after the submit button is
clicked, and data is saved, (or cancel button) - but this does not
happen.
The popup window remains open, even though I have a "return false;"
after window.open in the onclick event.
What am I missing?
<a href="myurl.asp"
'title','toolbar=no,width=700,height=600'); return false;">post a
note</a>;
as the title says, "close popup window after submit then redirect to parent". how do i do that? i google it and i saw that some people are using the following code:
window.close(); window.opener.location.reload();
The problem is, i dont know how to use and where them.
- I have a button on my Flash site that opens an HTML page in a popup window. In Flash, I open the new window using Actiosnscript 2.0:
- Within the popup window are links to other HTML pages. They all open in the same window. I've been using the following to create the links in Dreamweaver:
- On each page, I have a "Return to Main Menu" button that should close the popup window. To do this, I have been using:
- The problem is that it works differently in each browser, and I can't even get it to consistently close the window in most browsers:
Internet Explorer = popup message appears, asking "Are you sure you want to close this window?" or something similar; window closes after clicking "Yes."
Safari = Only closes if I'm on the original HTML page. If I click on any of the other links (note that these all open in the same window), those pages' "Return to Main Menu" buttons cease to work. However, if I keep clicking "Back" until I get to the original page, it closes.
Opera = Button actually works for each page.
Firefox & Chrome = Does not close the window at all.
I looked into it and saw that others have used a window.opener to solve similar issues. But, since my popup window is opened using Flash/AS2, I need to find a way around it.
I've tried preceding "window.close()" with "window.opener=null" (i.e. -onClick="window.opener=null; window.close()"), but I don't think I'm doing it right because it still doesn't work.
I've also seen others use codes that involve functions and variables, but it is beyond my current coding knowledge to implement this. Like I said, I'm sort of new at this.
The following will submit the form data to popup by clicking the submit button. I want it will submit the form automatically to the popup, there is no submit button in this page. Basically this page should not show up.
I am currently having problems with Popup windows in an application I am writing. I have a page, which opens a Popup window to a Perl Script on another server.
Because of this, I cant access the Parent's DOM to execute a function on the main page from the popup. I need to execute a script in the Main window once the popup window has finished its process.
I have tried setting a loop that checks if the popup is still open, which should work in principle.... however it hangs both Browser Windows.
I am trying to do two things. I have PDF files but the user has to click on the icon and a contact form will come up in a pop-up window. That window has a form and once the form is completed and properly validated, I want the pop-up window to automatically close and go to "white_papers.com?download=1". It will do everything but it only goes to white_papers.com. How can I get it to go to the entire URL including "?download=1"?
As per the rather long subject, I would like to (well, my boss would like me to...) on a popup have one button to close and another to close but then redirect to another page.
I have a popup window that has a "link" inside it, which needs to have a target=_blank but when ever clicked in IE, it stays inside the same window.I tried all of the following, none work
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 have this page that a user uses to upload a PDF. I want a small popup to come up when they hit the upload button to promt the user to wait. This part is fine and works but I need the popup to close when the upload is complete. The way I have aproched it is to have a function that pops the window up: Code:
Is it possible for me to make visible a close button if the active window is a popup window or a new window (other than the main window)?
What I mean is this:
If the present window is the main window, then the close button should not be visible on the page. Otherwise, the close button should be made visible and active (i.e. can be clicked to close the window).
I have an html button that calls & open another browser window on the onmouseup event, but once I close the popup new browser window my button has focus & is like selected.
I want it not to be selected or clicked or has focus, how do i loose the focus after close of popup window?
I want to close an internet explorer window without the warning popup. Im running ie 8 how would i do that cause when i use window.close() function it pops up with that warning.
I have a popup that submits a link. After the link is submitted, I want the user to be able to close the popup and go to the submitted link in one click. How can I do this.
I have my reasons for using popups, it's hard to explain. Please don't tell me how bad popups are, I know they're bad.
I have a form that is in a popup window. I need the form to submit to the opener window. Is is possible to do that? The opener window is the main window so it is does not have a name and there are no framesets.
<form action="something.php" method="post" target="????"> I'd like to use window.opener in the target but that's JavaScript...
I know somebody has done this before and has the code.
I have a form formABC that has a textbox plus a button. On clicking the button, window.open() a popup window for user to select a value. The value will then be passed back to formABC's textbox.
Now I want formABC to submit itself *AFTER* the textbox got a value. How could I do it?
I'm just restating my "site abandonment" post but with a clearer title as I realized it probably only made sense to me and me alone.
I have window that pops up with our commerce system. I have it set to pop up a window via JavaScript if the visitor quits early in the process (abandons the commerce system before completing all of the steps. The new popup is just a customer survey ("why are you leaving, is there something else we can help you with" etc. etc.).
Here's the problem, it works fine in IE, but in Firefox, anytime the page in the original commerce window is changed, refreshed or advanced to a new page, the survey popup window is called rather than just on window close.
Again, here's the two JavaScript routines that handle clicks on the graphical close button and on the window 'X' close button. Code:
I read about window object and specifically about creating popup windows. The code below produces a popup window when a link is clicked:
Code JavaScript: var Survey = { init: function() { var surveyLink = document.getElementById("survey"); Core.addEventListener(surveyLink, "click", Survey.clickListener); }, [Code]....
I would like to add a "Close Window" button on survey.html page and when that button is clicked, the window would close. How do I do that? I know that I should use (reference to popup window).close(), but how and where do I attach even listener to that button?
I want to trap the window.close() event when the user clicks on the close button of the browser using javascript. Can anyone shed light on this problem ?
I have a HTML and I am opening another link in a separate window using window.open() . The child window is something like 'http://yahoo.com' which is out side html. I need to refresh the parent window when the child window is closed.
I'm using a script to make an overlaying popup window appear.It works great but you can't close it.Can anyone help me with how to add a something to make the window close? I have a little graphic of an "x" that I want to be able to click on and close the overlay window.
I wrote an ASP-page which allows friends to upload a datafile which will be processed and stored in a database. Because large files take some time to process I want to open a popup 'Please wait, processing' with some fancy graphics. So, onSubmit -> check form and open popup if correct. When data is written into the database (and summary page has finished loading) I want to close the popup.... although I named it winDialog (winDialog = window.open(...)) the new page tells me it can't find this popup ( if (window.winDialog) { winDialog.close() } ). Can anyone tell me what's wrong? Maybe I'm doing things wrong. Or could you perhaps put me in a right direction...
