Refresh Parent Window After Closing A Popup Window

[ppbb123]

I have created a popup window that goes to a submission form. I want my original (parent page) to reload when the popup window is closed after submitting. I can't seem to get it to work,  

window.opener.location.reload(true);

is not working.  Any suggestion? 

 

Thanks

One reason is the security restrictions since parent and child windows have different domain names. This happens if the parent/opener DataPage is embedded in your domain (yousite.com) and the popup DataPage (the one which is auto submitted) is called by direct URL (bn.caspio.com).

 

To fix the issue, deploy the popup DataPage (the one which is auto submitted) on same domain as the opener and then use the following code in Destination and Triggers screen inside Display a Message text/HTML area:

<script>
window.close();
window.onunload = function(){
  window.opener.location.reload();}
</script>

Try to put the Javascript code in the Header of your popup page (Submission Form): 

<script type="text/javascript">
window.onunload = function(){
  window.opener.location.reload();
};
</script>

Hi all,

I tried to implement the solution provided in this forum thread in my application. However, none of these worked for me. Just to share with you how I overcome this issue, I used this code instead at Search and Report Wizard - Destination and Messaging:

<script>
window.close();
if (window.opener && !window.opener.closed) {
window.opener.location.reload();
}
</script>

 

I got the script in this article: https://howto.caspio.com/tech-tips-and-articles/advanced-customizations/add-an-option-to-a-public-facing-dropdown/
