Struts1 - how to reload parent window from popup
Hello
I am wondering if there is anyway to reload a parent window from the
popup window.
Basically I have a parent window that has a 'Add Contact' link up top
and then list of added contacts. When user clicks the addcontact info
a popup window is opened where users enter information and click add.
Upon clicking Add in the popup window the popup window disappears but
user has to manually refresh the parent window in order to see the
added information. I am wondering if there is any way to do this via
javascript where everytimg the popup window is closed the parent
window is reloaded.
I visited some javascript forums regarding this issue but they are
saying to directly to the popup window like this
function openPopup() {
windowReference = window.open('/addContactInformationPopup.do','windowName');
if (!windowReference.opener)
windowReference.opener = self;
}
However, in my struts1 code i need to pass parameters as well. So
link on my parent window that opens the popup window looks like this.
<html:link page="/addContactInformationPopup.do"
name="paramsName" scope="page"
target="_blank">Add Contact</html:link>
I'd appreciate any help.
thanks!

With window.opener you ge ta handle to the parent-window. To submit / reload
the form in the parent and close the child do something like this:
var parentWindow = window.opener;
parentWindow.document.forms[0].action=url; /* Whatever the action will be or
leave it as it is */
parentWindow.document.forms[0].submit();
parentWindow.focus();
window.close();

I don't believe that would submit the form in the parent window, and I don't
think the window that popped up would have a history anyway, no?

Doesn't the popup get a reference to the opening window?
Seems like you could populate the form directly via the DOM and submit it the
same way.

Re: Struts1 - how to reload parent window from popup
Posted by bhaarat Sharma <bh...@gmail.com>.
I am trying something like this
function openPopup() {
windowReference = window.open('<html:link page="/addContactInformationPopup.do"
name="paramsName" scope="page">','windowName');
if (!windowReference.opener)
windowReference.opener = self;
}
<a href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="javascript:openPopup(); return
false;"> Add Contact</a>
I cant JUST pass /addContactInformationPopup.do to the window.open
because then the parameters arent passed to the popup window.
But the above code is opening 2 windows...first one doesnt have passed
parameters..second one does..
