JavaScript代码适用于chrome和IE，但不适用于Firefox

Question

I'm trying to run some small JavaScript code. I need to refresh data on a page (using a certain link) then I want to load that page with the updated data.

I basically have to open a link before opening the page to update the data due to the platform that I'm using.

I quickly wrote some JavaScript and tested it. It works perfectly in Internet Explorer and Google Chrome, but for some reason it seems like it's not running the while loop in Firefox. I'm not sure why it's not working as I looked up the syntax and it seems correct.

var refreshed = false;
while (refreshed != true) {
  refreshpage = window.open('https://na10.salesforce.com/dash/dashboardRefresh');
  refreshed = true;
  refreshpage.close();
}
window.open('/dashboard', '__tab');

I tried using a timeout function for closing the window. But I'm not sure if I'm using it right. It will execute everything - including what's in the loop - but it never closes the window.

Here's the updated code:

var refreshed = false;
var timeOut = setTimeout(function() {
  refreshpage.close();
}, 1000);

while (refreshed != true) {
  refreshpage = window.open('https://na10.salesforce.com/dash/dashboardRefresh');
  refreshed = true;
  clearTimeout(timeOut);
}
window.open('/dashboard', '__tab');

From the original post:

Here is what I used to get it to work:

 var refreshed = false; while (refreshed != true) { refreshpage = window.open('https://na10.salesforce.com/dash/dashboardRefresh'); refreshed = true; var timeOut = setTimeout(function() { refreshpage.close(); window.open('/dashboard', '__tab'); }, 500); }
