popup submission should trigger .do, close popup, reload originating p

aturetsky · Apr 28, 2005

I have a A.jsp that gets displayed when one goes to

This A.jsp contains a link to a popup B.jsp. The form in B.jsp is then submitted to B.do which saves the data entered in that form to the DB. That part is working.

What I need to happen is that when that form in B.jsp popup is submitted, the system should not only 1) go to the action B.do, but also 2) close the B.jsp popup and reload the page that triggered that, i.e. A.jsp(which means reloading the

http://localhost/A.do?order=11

url)

How do I do that? Please specify the solution as clearly as possible

Thank you so much!

Hi,

The target page of B.do will have the javascript which will first reload A.do and close the window.

B.do should forward to this page once it inserts the data in the DB.

Example closeWindow.jsp

Code:

<%@ page contentType="text/html;charset=windows-1252"%>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
    <title>Close Window</title>
  </head>
  <body>
   <script language="javascript"><!--
      opener.location.href = opener.location.href;
      window.close();
   //-->
   </script>
  </body>
</html>

Cheers

Venu, I like that approach and appreciate the prompt response. But don't understand the javascript. Firstly, why are the main lines commented out. Secondly, what does this identical assignment do: opener.location.href = opener.location.href;

Hi,

The lines are not commented out, that is the standard of writing the javascript inside a page. And the below Line will reload the parent window with URL what's on the parent window ie.,

http://localhost/A.do?order=11

in you case.
opener.location.href = opener.location.href;

Thank you so much! It worked great.

Thanks again. Can you tell me more about the purpose of those <!--> tags, that you mentioned are a standard for writing javascript inside a page. Would the page not work the same without them?
