Hello,

I am using struts for my web application. I have 2 jsp pages suppose: pageA, pageB. I click a button "Add" on pageA and this opens pageB. On pageB when I click of "Accept" it closes pageB but at the same time I want to refresh pageA. How do I incorporate this behaviour in struts or in javascript is also ok?

Please let me know, thanks for your time in advance.

Luke.

Have you tried google yet? Do a search on "javascript parent child windows", or something similar, it should bring back lots of links of good examples.

You have to use javaScript to do this.

If you used the window.open() method from pageA to open pageB, you can reference pageA from pageB using the opener property of the window object.

So, just before closing, pageB could execute the following javascript:

window.opener.document.myForm.action = "refreshPageA.do";
window.opener.document.myForm.submit();

to refresh pageA.

What if I have 3 pages PageA, PageB, PageC: PageA opens pageB, pageB opens pageC. When I click submit on PageC I want refresh PageA.

Thanks for your time in advance.
