Repopulate cfselect after returning from 2nd window

[MarkLA]

I am a new user to ColdFusion and am having a problem with
a cfselect. I have created a cfselect statement where a
person can select the physician that they are using. If
their physician is not in the list, I have a seperate button
(created with an input) that allows them to add their
physician to the database. The button will open a new
window with the necessary fields to add a physician. After
the physician has been added, I send them back to the
original window. The problem that I have is that the newly
added physician does not show up in my select list. I need
to be able to repopulate the select list after returning
from the add physician window.

Any help that can be provided will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Mark

i would reload the page = re run the query = re populate the select box

Try something like this in the popup window:

<script language=&quot;javascript&quot;>
function reloadParent() {
window.parent.location.href = 'yourfile.cfm';
}
</script>

<form...>
...
<input type=&quot;foo&quot; onclick=&quot;reloadParent();&quot;>
...
</form>

I'm fairly sure it's something like window.parent... or something, you may have to check the javascript docs. __________________________________

in the head of the window you want to refresh, make sure that you have named it, using:

<script>
window.name = &quot;mainWindow&quot;
</script>

in the new window you can use this to refresh parent and self close the new one; put the code just after the cf procedure that should be executed:

<script>
window.opener.refresh();
self.close()
</script>

Almost all problems with CF and refreshing can be resolved by using <CFLOCATION>.
