To set this up, I have a parent window with a list of things (doesn't matter what they are, but they are loaded by the page dynamically from a database with ASP server-side script. So, next to each item is an EDIT link that opens up a child window, sending it a REQUEST object with a value that helps the window look up some things about the list item in the database that the web user can then edit in a form and, of course, submit. Finally, and where the problem code is, there is the script-only page that the windowed form submits to. On that page, I do some database updating (server-side first, then my "HTML" (although the browser doesn't actually render anything, really) is:
-
<html>
-
<body onload="window.opener.location.href='ParentListPage.asp#12';self.close();">
-
</body>
-
</html>
...the problem is that without the anchor name (#12), this script works great; refreshes the parent window and auto-closes the window (this, of course, happens immediately when the user clicks the SUBMIT button on the windowed form, which is pretty cool/smooth). With the anchor, the parent window does indeed scrool down to the provided anchor, but the parent window still has the old (outdated) information - it's not re-querying the server, which is important for me in this case.
Anyone know why I can't have an anchor here?
