parent refreshes, need querystring?

DebbieDavis · May 4, 2004

Hi there, I'm not very good at javascript but I'm using the following to close a child window and refresh a parent window after updating a database. It's within an ASP page.

Code:

<SCRIPT>
function CloseWindow() {
    if (window.opener && !window.opener.closed) { window.opener.document.location.reload();
    window.close();
}
}
</SCRIPT>

When my parent window reloads, is there any way to include a querystring? It needs to reload, but it needs to jump to a particular anchor on the page. Any way to modify the above code to accomplish this? Thanks.

Since it's in an ASP page, why not use a session variable to keep track of whether or not it's being reloaded after the popup closes? In your popup page set the session variable:

Code:

<% Session("reloaded") = true; %>

And then in your main page upon reloading:

Code:

<%
if (Session("reloaded")) {
   Response.Write("<body onload='jump to anchor'>");
   Session("reloaded") = false;
}
else {
   Response.Write("<body>");
}
%>

Sorry about the server side JScript, I never use VBScript for coding server side, so I couldn't provide you with an example, shouldn't be too hard to convert though

That's probably a good idea. I'll give it a try. Many thanks for your time.
