Resolved Little bug with window.open

I have a basic function that's supposed to reload the current page:

Code:

---

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">

function refreshpage(type,strtemp)
{
window.open("testNT.asp?type="+type+"&strtemp="+strtemp,"_self","")
}

---

The problem I get is that the page reloads, but but not with the variables. If I change the target to _blank, it works perfectly....

What is wrong with the _self target???

Thanks in advance!!

_self referes to this window, you need to use _blank because you are opening a new window :)

Cheers,

Hi sciguyryan, the problem is that I want to reload the current page, I don't want to open a new one... I have a page with the identical function and it works perfectly, that's why I don't understand why this one won't reload with the _self target.... Any idea??

Thanks

Hmm, I see.

Try this:

Code:

---

function Refreshpage(Type, StrTemp){
    if (!(window.location.href.indexOf("?type=") > 0)){
        window.location.href = window.location.href + "?type=" + Type + "&strtemp=" + StrTemp
    }
}

---

That should take the page location and then add ?type=something&strtemp=Something :)

I'm lost here, it doesn't work either, I tried this:

Code:

---

alert(window.location.href + "?type=" + Type + "&strtemp=" + StrTemp)

---

I see the exact url as it should be but still, it won't reload.... And as I said, I have another page with the same function using different variables that work :sick:

I'll have a look at the other page, just in case I'm missing something here!

Thanks for your help!!

Try the function that I posted.

It does work because I just tested it :)

Must be something wrong on my comp cause it won't work!! AARRRgghhhh!!

Have a look here - It works fine.

See if you are doing it the way I am :)

It's working!! That's great!

Stupid me, stupid me!!! I just found what was my mistake!!! What I'm doing is sending the variables from a listbox to the function, but.... BUT I enclosed the listbox inside a form tag!!!

I just removed the tags and everything works fine!!

Thanks a bunch for your help, it helped me look at other things! :D
