Topic awaiting preservation: refreshing windows

I want to refresh a recently opened window. i tried using location.href but i dont know how to target it to the new window. do you know anything about this? my code is shown below.

window.open("", "popfly", "height=460, width=790, menubar=yes, scrollbars=yes, status=yes, toolbar=yes, screenX=100, screenY=0, left=0, top=0");
popfly.location.href("linkText.asp");

this event is done after clicking a link.

i also tried to refresh the specified page using body onload = window.refresh but it doesn't work.

Help!!!

Hi bianca,

You can only refer to the new window if you give it a reference. So what you need is a varible to represent the new window. This should work:


var newWin = window.open("", "popfly", "height=460, width=790, menubar=yes, scrollbars=yes, status=yes, toolbar=yes, screenX=100, screenY=0, left=0, top=0"); //newWin is the "name" of the new window
newWin.location.href("linkText.asp");

Have phun

location.href is a property, not a function. Do

newWin.location.href = "linkText.asp";

I'm kinda embarressed for overlooking that bug :s. Seems like slime is always whipping my ass when I start to feel clever. Thanx for that

No, you had the important part =)

thank you so much for your help... =)

Hello,

does this also work when I want to self.close a window opened with script
in the Bodytag with a timeout for self.closing ???

MY window is always asking the user if the user wants to close this page!!

[sorry for my bad english]

It isn't very clear what you're trying to say,
but indeed, external windows can be closed through window.close(), and no questions will be asked that way.
