link to close self then refresh other page.... 1

[thompom]

hi,

a user clicks a search button that, if there are criteria matches, opens another window that displays the matches.

next to each match is a link...

<a href=<%Response.Write refrer & "?cusid=" & Server.URLEncode(x_cusid)& "&carid=" & Server.URLEncode(x_carid)& "&bookst=" & Server.URLEncode(x_bookst)& "&bookend=" & Server.URLEncode(x_bookend) & "&motid=" & Server.URLEncode(x_motid)& "&motdate=" & Server.URLEncode(x_datetxt)& "&x_stockreg=" & Server.URLEncode(x_stockreg) & "&x_stockmakeid=" & Server.URLEncode(x_stockmakeid) & "&x_stockmodid=" & Server.URLEncode(x_stockmodid) & "&franid=" & Server.URLEncode(x_franid)%> target="_blank"><img src="images/gotobut.gif" width="37" height="14" border="0"></a>

this works fine except i would like the link to close the current 'search' window and refresh the parent window with the link above

thanks MG

something like this should work, or at least get you started:

<script type="text/javascript">

function doIt() {
   opener.window.refresh();
   window.close();
}

</script>

kaht - thanks for your reply
i use a similar function to refresh the previous screen
which is fantastic,

<script language="JavaScript">
		opener.location.reload(true);
		self.close();
</script>

however when the reload of the previos page happens
is it possible to add this to the querystring?

"&motdate=" & Server.URLEncode(x_datetxt)

Try this:

<script language="JavaScript">
        opener.location = opener.location + "&motdate=" + <%=Server.URLEncode(x_datetxt)%>
        self.close();
</script>

thanks - that works great apart from in the querystring
x_datetxt is shown as undefined

eg

http://localhost/mfit/bsome/colldel.asp&motdate=undefined

have written that variable to the page and it shows as
22/01/2007

do i need to request it before running this function?

thanks again

<script type="text/javascript">
function reload(){
        opener.location = opener.location + "&motdate=" + <%=Server.URLEncode(x_datetxt)%>
        self.close();
		}
</script>
<img src="images/gotobut.gif" width="37" height="14" border="0" onclick="reload()" />

Your ASP command Server.URLEncode(x_datetxt) is returning undefined. It's probably best to redirect this question to the ASP forum now, as they will likely be able to give you the rest of the solution.
