I do this with client side code all the time.
The form in the popup looks like:
<FORM name="MyForm"
action="$link.setPage("Saving.vm").setAction("MyAction")" method="post">
Saving.vm looks like:
$page.addAttribute("onLoad", "reloadOpener();")
<SCRIPT>
function reloadOpener()
{
var main = cleanURL(opener.location.href);
opener.location.href = main;
close();
}
</script>
<h4>Saving data. Please wait...</h4>
[ cleanURL() strips off some stuff from the originating window's URL such as
login action stuff which I don't want repeated ]
By doing it this way the popup window won't close on the off chance there is
a Turbine error. That way any error messages can be read.
There's nothing "tricky" here so it should work 100% of the time.
