JavaScript – Help with closing popup on submit and more

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
May 08.2004

Hello, I have a guestbook on my new site. I use a popup-window to bring up the form you fill to write in the guestbook.
But I have a problem here, what I want is that when I submit the form the popup shall close and the main page will thereafter reload by itself (with a script that activates on submit), then you will be able to see your text you’ve written immediately.

Anyone know how to do? I know php also if that could be any help.

Add this to your submit button:

<i>
</i>&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;
&lt;!--
function CloseReload(){
self.close;
parent.reload();
}
//--&gt;
&lt;/script&gt;


<i>
</i>OnCLick="CloseReload();"


Hope that helps. ?

--Edit--

Did work out 50%, the window close and the information is in the database but parent didn't reload.

<i>
</i>parent.history.go(0);


So, as your full code you would have:

<i>
</i>&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;
&lt;!--
function CloseReload(){
self.close;
parent.history.go(0);
}
//--&gt;
&lt;/script&gt;

Success!
