I have one page list.jsp
having list of all records in table and one button at top to add new record.
I want to open add.jsp
as a popup window. This works but when I close popup window how to update list.jsp
so that it shows newly added record
Here is my code what i tried...
list.jsp
<html>
<head>
<script>
function popupwindow(url, title, w, h) {
var left = (screen.width/2)-(w/2);
var top = (screen.height/2)-(h/2);
popupWindow = window.open(url, title, 'toolbar=no, location=no, directories=no, status=no, menubar=no, scrollbars=no, resizable=no, copyhistory=no, width='+w+', height='+h+', top='+top+', left='+left);
return popupWindow
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<input type="button" value="Add new" id="add-btn" onclick="popupwindow('Addnew.jsp','Add new',600,400)"/>
<table>
// Here i am showing all records from database...
</table>
</body>
add.jsp
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#savebtn").click(function(e) {
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "RecordHandler",
data: dataString,
success: function(data){
$('body').html(data);
$('#msg').html('New Record Added Successfully.')
}
});
});
</head>
<body>
<form method="POST">
<table>
<tr>
<td>Folder Number</td>
<td><input type="text" name="folderno"/></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Box Number <b style="color:red">*</b></td>
<td><input type="text" name="boxno"/></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan=2>
<input type="submit" value="Save" name="save" id="savebtn"/>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
You could use location.reload(true)
to reload the current document. The forceGet
parameter is by default false
and that is why you pass it in as true
to overwrite it. Basically it is used to fetch the document from the server, instead of loading it from the cache.
EDIT1: If you are trying to reload the source window of the popup, as escaparello mentioned in the comments, you should call window.opener.location.reload()
. Also, you could bind an event listener for when the popup unloads, as follows:
popupWindow.onunload = function () {
// This informs the user that the record has been added successfully
alert('The record has been inserted into the database!');
window.opener.location.reload();
}
