Refreshing The Parent Window When A Popup Closes Using Javascript??
Oct 13, 2003
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.
All works for IE, but when coming to mozilla ,firefox the refresh is a step delayed, i.e when I open my popup to add an itme to my cart on parent page ,for the first time it does not show anything , but when I try to add another item , the first one shows.
I have a couple of utility windows - a calculator and a calendar that popup from my main window. I would like them to always stay in front of the parent window until they are shut down with there own close buttons. As it is, when you click back to the parent window, of course it comes in front of the child windows. Can I do this?
Put a link on my page that will open an external site (over which I have no control) in a pop-up window. When the user closes the pop-up, I want my original page to redirect to another page. The difficulty I'm having is that I can't add any code to the page in the pop-up as it's not my site.
I have a popup window which has the search form in. What I want to do is for the popup window to close once the form is submitted, and to post the form data to a page on the main window.
Is anyone able to advise. As the main page is dynamic, it is not possible to give the page a name.
I have a closed box system which opens an html page. The page closes by the system. I have access to the html page. I added code to open a child window from this page. However when the parent window closes, the child closes too. Is there a way to keep the child window open? Yes keep it orphaned.
I have a simple page on my freebie account site that opens a popup window running index.asp on another site of mine. The code on the freebie hosted server is below. What I'd like to do is have the freebie hosted page shut down once it's opened up the child window.
I need to create an application that will open a popup when the user closes a window. I can do that easily via onUnload event of javascript but the catch is that the popup must open only when we close the window and not when we submit a form or click a link on the page.Actually it is a survey which opens only when one closes the window.
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 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!
... 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.
i had a user.php page. wen i went to this page i can see the list of projects with radio buttons. so wen i select a radio button and click submit the name of the project wil be send to the next page(upload.php) by 'url' i had used get method for that.so in upload.php i can upload files and those files are displayed in table with download link each so if i press download link it wil download that file.everything is fine but here is my problem when i click on download link a popup open(open with, save like that) and the parent window is refreshing and the projectname i am getting by 'URL' is disappearing and the table is empty. with out that projectname i can do nothing.
I 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.
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.
Is it possible to refresh a parent browser window when a "child" browser window has been closed using the [X] button in the upper right corner of the browser?
When I refer to child window, I mean that a link within a "parent" window has opened a new browser window.
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?
why my simple javascript to refresh the parent window doesn't work in IE8? When the child window closed, it reopen another new window for the page I want the parent window to refresh and nothing happened on the parent window.How can I make it load the page from parent window instead of a new window ??? it works perfectly in other browsers but not IE.
Code: <script language="JavaScript"> <!-- function rent() {[code].....
Im trying to create a hidden form field in a parent window from within a child window (popup). I am trying to use jQuery, but unfortunately the hidden field does not get created.
I am trying to insert the value of a variable gathered from a popup window as an option in a <select> menu on the main window. This is the code I have so far:
Code: var newOption = document.createElement("option"); newOption.value = '<?=$userfile_name?>' newOption.appendChild(document.createTextNode('<?=$userfile_name?>')); select.insert(newOption);
How do I do the rest? I just want to add this new value to the end of the list.
I need the most efficient way of passing a variable from a parent window to a popup window.The reason i say "most efficient" is because i currently do it like this from the parent:[code]But this is inefficient because at times it randomly alerts "undefinded".Anyways, can someone tell me a more fail safe way to pass a var to a popup so that i will be able to access it 100% correctly.
how I can populate the value of an input field on a parent window from a selected item (of a form - listmenu) on a pop-up window? Basically, I need to pass the value of one form to another form located on a different page...
Wondering how one would go about creating a popup window that would exactly copy the size & location of the parent window. I am guessing that you would combine two functions, one to assign size & location of parent window to JS variables; the next to open the popup incorporating those variables. I'm sure i can find snippets on the web. would there be a simpler way?
