[RESOLVED] Open New Window, and at the same time, re-direct Parent Window

@newuserphpMay 01.2015

Hi,

I thought I wouldn’t have to ask this silly question on a forum ?

But, I can’t seem to find the solution anywhere.

I have a JavaScript that opens a new window when a button is clicked.

It works fine. But, I want to ~~[B]~~re-direct the Parent Window[/B] (current page) once the new window is opened.

Here is my script :

[CODE]<script type=”text/javascript”> function OpenWindow() { window.open (‘/My_Folder/file.php’, ‘newwindow’, config=’height=670, width=1400, toolbar=no, menubar=no, scrollbars=no, resizable=no, location=no, directories=no, status=no’); } </script>[/CODE]

And, of course the button :

[code=html]<input type=”button” value=”Submit” onclick=”OpenWindow()”>[/code]

So, in order to be able to re-direct the Parent Window, after the new window has popped up, I added a simple line to my JS function :

[CODE]<script type=”text/javascript”> function OpenWindow() { window.open (‘/My_Folder/new_file.php’, ‘newwindow’, config=’height=670, width=1400, toolbar=no, menubar=no, scrollbars=no, resizable=no, location=no, directories=no, status=no’); }

setTimeout(1000, ‘/My_Folder/PHP/file_2.php’);

</script>[/CODE]

Meaning, after the new window has popped up, the Parent Window should ~~[B]~~re-direct in 1 second.[/B]

But, for some reason, it’s not working.

Thanks Kevin. But, your code gave me a syntax error.

Shouldn't there be brackets and a semi-colon somewhere enclosing this : [B]window.location = '/My_Folder/PHP/file_2.php';[/B] ??

No idea what the syntax error is, as Eclipse wouldn't explain it. It simple indicates that something is missing (or should be removed)

@newuserphpauthorMay 02.2015 — #So far, I've tried these 3 ways :

(a) <script type="text/javascript">

function OpenWindow() {

window.open ('/My_Folder/new_file.php', 'newwindow',

config='height=670, width=1400,

toolbar=no, menubar=no, scrollbars=no, resizable=no, location=no,

directories=no, status=no');

window.top.location.href = '/My_Folder/PHP/file_2.php'

}

</script>[/QUOTE]

(b) <script type="text/javascript">

function OpenWindow() { window.open('/My_Folder/file.php','newwindow',

config='height=670,width=1400,toolbar=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,location=no,directories=no,status=no');

settimeout( function(){document.location='/My_Folder/PHP/file_2.php'}, 1000 );

}

</script>
[/QUOTE]

(c) <script>

function OpenWindow() {

window.open ('/My_Folder/new_file.php', 'newwindow', 'height=670, width=1400, toolbar=no, menubar=no, scrollbars=no, resizable=no, location=no, directories=no, status=no');

 window.location = '/My_Folder/PHP/file_2.php';
  }

</script>[/QUOTE]

Of all these, none are working.

But (b) is the best solution so far, because, at least, [B]it opens the New (Child) Window[/B], as it should. But, it still does not re-direct the Parent Window ?((

@ginerjmMay 02.2015 — #Going back to you initial post, what is supposed to trigger the submit to redirect your parent window? Not that 'button' element?

@Kevin2May 02.2015 — #Thanks Kevin. But, your code gave me a syntax error.[/QUOTE]

Don't know what to tell you. This works locally with a couple of random files. One opens in the new window the other opens in the parent. No syntax errors in any browser.

[code=html]<!DOCTYPE html>
 <html lang="en">
 <head>
 <meta charset="utf-8">
 <title>redirect</title>
 
 <script>
 function OpenWindow()    {
 window.open ('file1.htm', 'newwindow', 'height=670, width=1400, toolbar=no, menubar=no, scrollbars=no, resizable=no, location=no, directories=no, status=no');
 
   window.location = 'file2.htm';
  }
 </script>
 </head>
 <body>
 
 <button onclick="OpenWindow()">Click</button>
 
 </body> 
 </html>[/code]

Now it works!

Thanks ?

Out of curiosity -- Why? The script is [I]exactly the same[/I] as the one I originally posted and which gave you "a syntax error".
