Natasha,
Hopefully, this will get you started:
To open the new window, I use the following code:
function LaunchWindow(vAction) {
remotewin = window.open('http://www.abc.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=' +
vAction, 'remotewin',
'width=245,height=190,resizable=0,scrollbars=0,top=200,left=200');
if (remotewin != null) {
if (remotewin.opener == null) {
remotewin.opener = self;
}
}
}
After the user enters the data on the pop up and submits, you can use the
following code to refresh the main screen and close the pop up. It will
also detect if the user closed the main browser. If they did, it will open
a new browser with the location where they should be.
<html>
<head>
<SCRIPT>
window.onError = doError
function doError(a1,a2,a3) {
window.open ('index.cfm?fuseaction=whatever');
return true;
}
function RefreshOpener() {
onerror = doError;
// you could use "opener.location.reload();" here instead of the next line
opener.location.href = 'index.cfm?fuseaction=whatever';
}
</SCRIPT>
</head>
<body onload="RefreshOpener(); window.close();">
</body>
</html>

Subject: JavaScript: close window and refresh screen
> Hi,
>
> I have a question concerning JavaScript.
>
> I have a display file, and once the user selects an option from the drop

submit.
> This calls another fuseaction and enters the data into the database.
Within

the

>
> <head>

> <script language="javascript">
> <!--

> </head>
>
> <body onload="LoadMe()">
> <div align="center">
>
> <a href="javascript:window.close()"></a>
>
> </div>
> </body>

> The problem is that the pop up screen should close and the main should

main

> Any help is appreciated.
