subwindow - refresh parent

#1 July 23rd, 2007, 08:05 AM

Greetings,

how to refresh a parent window after processing forms from the subwindow?

Currently I have a solution (see below) which works with IE and
Konqueror, but not with Firefox, so I assume it's not a clean solution.

ParentWindow:
==============
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<body onLoad="self.name='MainWindow';">
Date: <hr>
<a href="t2.html?pass=1" target='SubWindow'>Open SubWindow</a>
</body>
</html>

SubWindow
=========
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<body>
<form action="t1.html" target="MainWindow"
onClick="window.close();" method="post">
text: <input type="text" value="" name="text">
<input type="submit" value="OK">
<input type="hidden" name="pass" value="2">
</form>
</body>
</html>

Thanks for reading and hints
Wolf

Why don't you have the script file just reload the main page?

Well, this is an excerpt only.
The main page contains a form, so when reloading, a popup
'confirm resend...' appears, which is not desired.

Could you please explain why you need that "subwindow"?

Remove the popup, problem solved.

C'mon, this does not answer the question.
If it's not possible from YPOV, say it.
