refresh problem

[Clive Moore]

I have an webpage that opens a child window that displays an applet.
When the user calls this function for the second time the same window is
opened which is fine except I need the page to be refreshed other wise
the applet is not updated. Is this possible.

This needs to be called after the window.open in the parent.

Thanks
Clive

Hi Clive,

use this:

var myAppletWindow = window.open(etc .etc

// to reload:
myAppletWindow. location.reload ();

// to put something else in there:
myAppletWindow. location.replac e("put url here");


good luck,

Re: refresh problem

Hi Erwin,

This is my Code.

var resultsWindow = window.open('re sultsViewer.jsp ', 'Results',
'location=no, directories=no, status=no, menubar=no, scrollbars=yes,
resizable=yes, copyhistory=yes , width=780, height=550');
resultsWindow.l ocation.reload( );


my problem is that i get a javascript error when the user opens the
child
window the first time. I think its due to the fact that
im doing a reload on a window that is only opening.

Any ideas
Clive

Hi Clive,

If you think the problem has to do with the fact the window is not loaded
(very possible) try this maybe:

var resultsWindow;

function openResultWindo w(){
// can open or re-load.
if (resultsWindow) {
resultsWindow.l ocation.reload( );
} else {
resultsWindow = window.open('re sultsViewer.jsp ', 'Results',
'location=no, directories=no, status=no, menubar=no, scrollbars=yes,
resizable=yes, copyhistory=yes , width=780, height=550');
resultsWindow.l ocation.reload( );
}

In that way you test if it is open already and do the right thing depending
on the existance of resultsWindow.

I didn't check this code, so maybe it has some typo.

Good luck,

Re: refresh problem

Sorry typo:

var resultsWindow;

function openResultWindo w(){
// can open or re-load.
if (resultsWindow) {
resultsWindow.l ocation.reload( );
} else {
resultsWindow = window.open('re sultsViewer.jsp ', 'Results',
'location=no, directories=no, status=no, menubar=no, scrollbars=yes,
resizable=yes, copyhistory=yes , width=780, height=550');
}

That is without the resultsWindow.l ocation.reload( ); in the else-block. :-)
