I don't think the last 3 lines of your JavaScript fucntion will ever run, i.e. those lines after the "document.icareForm.submit();" as this causes a new page to be requested from the server, hence the browser immediately stops processing the JavaScript on the current page.
Secondly even if those lines did run you will have a "race condition" where your original "opener" page might retrieve it's new list before the "add" page has finished processing. What you could do is submit the form as you are doing at the moment, without the call to the opener page: <script> function saveRecord () { document.icareForm.action="servlet to insert record"; document.icareForm.submit (); } </script> and then when the JSP / servlet that you are psoting to is finished processing, have it return a small page containing just the remaining JavaScript: <script> // ------------------------------------------------------------------------ // this script will execute as soon as the page loads // ------------------------------------------------------------------------ opener.document.icareForm.action = "list servlet"; opener.document.icareForm.submit (); window.close (); </script> This will ensure that there is no "race condition".
