I have a popup that contains a form. When I submit that form, I need 1) the data to get saved into my database, 2) the popup to close, and 3) the parent window to refresh and display the updated data.
I found the following code in an old thread, but the parent window still shows the old data after it appears to reload. The data is saved in the database, but the parent window only shows the updated data when I manually refresh it by hitting F5.
Is there a difference between right clicking an iframe and reloading post reponse vs. using javascript to reload the frame? So far, the javascript route hasn't worked for me. [some context] I am writing a little bookmarklet to help me with the online registrations at my school. Here is the setup.
Load up a page on the domain. Remove all body elements. Insert an iframe. Set iframe to page for class roster search. (in iframe on school search page) Select class search options, POST the form data, and view results in frame. *This works perfectly, but I need to have it refresh results every minute or so. When I use frame.contentDocument.location.reload(true); the frame loses the post data or something and the page is broken. BUT when I just right click on the frame and select "reload frame" it works perfectly. What is the difference between rightclicking the frame and refreshing it like that vs. using javascript to reload the frame?
i am trying to redirect user from onchange event to another location in the page. its work fine in IE but not in firefox why window.location doesn't work in FF ?

I'm using window.showModalDialog but having an issue trying to set the parent window(main browser). I open modal window A which is then opens modal window B, top of modal window B onload I do window.opener.close()". My issue now is when i'm finished with B I set parent window(main browser) to a new url with window.opener.location. So my problem is modal window A the parent has been closed so window.opener.location will not work.
I am trying to use the window.opener.location code from a link on my popup window to change the webpage in the window that opened my popup. It works on ie/firefox, but doesnt work on safari.
Now i've tried the link with both <a href="#" changepage(35);"> and <a href="javascript:changepage(32);"> but safari doesnt want to touch the opener page. Do you know of any workaround/hack to get this to work? If not, is there a way to check to see if the user has safari and change the code to opening the page in a new window?
I have a real problem with an e-commerce site which has worked for years without a hitch but with the uptake of IE8 (it seems) this problem is getting more and more frequent Problem: customer continues through checkout on main site (http:[url]....).
When they have to enter their credit card details, they click on a link to open a window (https:[url]....). The details are verified and if valid, the customer is returned to the confirmation page in the parent screen (http:[url]....) and the payment window is closed . Pop-up blockers are causing problems here but even when pop-up blockers are disabled, the confirmation page loads in a new window.I'm using :

In phase of my deployment I send the user a window from a servlet and inorder to communicate with an applet already loaded in another window in the browser I thought I could set the window.opener.location="${formbean.property}"; and it partly works, it get set, I see the new window flash, but it then executes that url. Two questions?
1. setting the window.opener.location in an onLoad() should not force a post back to the server, correct? I am just trying to keep that window I want up there and set an internal property so I can access the applet in the other window. Trying to make this "synthetically" a child of that page opened with the applet so I can call the applets methods simply.
2. Is there another way for a new browser window to directly access an applet in another page? I could go the route of making a probe applet and hoping they share the same JVM, (JRE1.6.0.25) access it that way. Is/how that the way to do it?
I'm popping a window to a page with a different dns than the parent, and i want the opener's location reloaded when this window is closed.
With Mozilla it seems that all the opener's methods and properties are protected because the dns are different. A security exception (permission denied) is thrown every time i try to exec an "opener.location.reload()" from the pop up window.
An alternative would be catching the window closing from the opener, but i don't know how this could be done.
i am invoking window.opener.location.reload function from a pop up window to reload the parent page. But this seems to behave randomly. Sometimes the reload would preserve form data eg. the state of the drop down lists. On some other occasions, it would reset all the drop down lists and form data. Does window.location.reload resend form data to the server?
Does anyone know how it would be possible to create bar at the bottom of the browser window that doesn't reload when you navigate thru the site. A good example is the chatbox that Facebook has. When you click links throughout the site the chat box is constant and doesn't reload.
I see how the window.opener works, pretty neat in that the pop window knows the parent.
Is there a property that also knows the form field parent?
My function does not know which of the 3 select menus called it.
What can I do?
function onCarrierSelect() { // var frm = document.carrRequestForm.carrierList.selectedIndex var selectCar = document.carrRequestForm.carrierList.options[frm].text; alert(selectCar); if (window.opener && !window.opener.close) window.opener.document.form(x how make global?).nbcarrier(x how make global?).value = selectCar window.close(); }
p.s. as an aside I know the form field name, it is literally in the querystring, but that is ASP/vbscript and no way to get it into the jscript function...
We have a micro site that is getting opened inside a popup window from some external main site (the domains of our microsite and main site are different) ...
I need to support the following functionality: After the user is done surfing the pages on our site and user clicks the close hyperlink (present on top of all of our webpages), the opener window's location needs to be reset to some given URL ....
I had a small javascript code for this, where i have written: window.opener.location.assign("<url>"); .
My problem is that this line of code is throwing an exception saying "Permission denied to access method location.assign" ...
Can anybody help me and let me know why am I getting this exception? and how to overcome this problem?
<input type="reset" name="cancel" value="Cancel" onclick="javascript:window.location.href('/index.php');" /> In IE5.5 clicking the cancel button loads the index.php page fine. In Firefox 1.0 & also the version of IE running on my IPAQ it doesn't work - clicking the button doesn't do anything.
Anyone have any ideas or alternative solutions? I thought maybe I was using an IE only thing but it is a version of IE on the IPAQ. I thought maybe it was not standards compliant but I haven't found anyone having a similar problem.
Any idea or advice? TIA, BG.
PS Ignore that I am using a reset button to do this - I have also tried it in the body tag like this:
Code:
<body onload="javascript:alert('Login Successfull! You are logged into my app');window.location.href('/myapp/index.php');">
I'm using window.location.reload(true) to refresh the current page. It works fine in IE but in FF it doesn't seem to work correctly. If I view the page source, I see that it has been updated, but the display isn't updated. What's going on?
I have written the following javascript code using Ajax.After successful login, the page should navigate to index.html. It works perfectly in all IE versions. But i didn't worked in Firefox.In place of setTimeout( function(){ window.location=url; },10);, i tried all the following but there is no effect.
1) window.location directly with timeout 2)window.location.href. 3) kept sleep function to sleep for 1,2 seconds
but when i removed the set timeout and placed alert, it successfully navigated to new page in firefox.
Here is what I have: a regular main window that opens a small pop-up for preview purposes. This pop-up window has a text link to close it and a text link to close it and reach a page with more detail in the main window. I have been trying an infinite number of things so far and I cannot get this last link to work in Opera 10. All workarounds are just fine in FF 3 and IE 8. Here is the function called when clicking the link to "close and go":
Danged if I can find the thread, but I swear I saw a $.url() reference in here a day or two ago. It was beingutilized for parsing out the window.location or window.location.search parameters. I made a mental note because that was something I would be needing to do.
Now I can't find it, either because the search isn't finding it or I was dreaming about this function existing.
I rummaged about the API docs and didn't find it there either. Is it something provided by one of the plugins and not a function native to jQuery?
I want to use the following code on my web page but, it doesn't work they way I want it to. Firts, I want the pop up window to close after a certain amount of time but, instead of the pop up closing, it closes the previous page (the main page).
Second, I want to add a close button to the pop up window but, it appears on the main page also.
What could I be doing wrong?? I tried many times, switched the lines around but it wouldn't work. Code:
