Redirect and new window 1

girky · Jan 9, 2003

Hi,

I want to open a new window and redirect the old window. I thought this would be so easy, but I cannot get it to work, it only redirects.

Response.Write "<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=""javascript""><!--"
Response.Write "window.open(""sheet.asp?REQ=" & RequestID1 & """,""_blank"&quot

"
Response.Write "--></SCRIPT>"
Response.Redirect "requestslist.asp"

Any suggestions? Thanks

you need to use window.parent.location
This is an example
1.htm is the first file, abc.htm is the popup,def.htm the redirection

1.htm

<html>
<head>
<script language="JavaScript">
function redopen()
{
window.open('abc.htm','trial');
window.parent.location = 'def.htm';
}
</script>
</head>
<body onLoad='redopen()'>

</body>
</html>

code for abc.htm

<html>
<head>

</head>
<body >
this is abc.htm
</body>
</html>

code for def.htm

<html>
<head>

</head>
<body >
this is def.htm
</body>
</html>
