Parent Jsp page refresh when click on popupwindow alert box

Question

I am working on jsp's, I have two jsp one in configDb.jsp, in that I have written code to retrieve the values from database and display it. In this whereas I have option like newconnection.. its a popup window. When I click on that it opens popupwindow and taken the values and store them in a database, but in my parent page I am not able to display those values. After I click on the ok button in popup window, I have to refresh the parent page, then I am able to see the values which I have created few seconds back by the new connection page. Could anyone please help me out?

Answer 1

You can include this in your HTML for the popup window.

<script type="text/javascript">
function proceed(){
   opener.location.reload(true);
   self.close();
}
</script>

<form onsubmit="proceed()">
...
</form>

Actually you can obtain the answer by googling " javascript refresh parent page from popup " and you will see stackoverflow's answer :)

A better alternative without the need of refreshing the parent page can be achieved by adding a submit button listener and perform a DOM action to insert the new element with new content. This can be easily done by Javascript.
