[Cartoweb-users] Refreshing from another url

[oliver]

Hi Raihan,
Thats exactly what the piece of script i sent is used to.
Run that function on the opener side when you open the new windows. When the new windows is closed, the try() will fail hence the new window is closed, then simply refresh or reset the opener side. (Replace //do action by resetSession (); in the script).

This is the only way i found to handle cross domain window action.

Regards

  Oliver,

  Thanks for fast replying.

  But I like to refresh the opener(cartoweb) page when closing the 
  opened(popup) page. 

  Something like the following code in the onclick event of close button of the popup.

  window.opener.location.reload();
  self.close();

    One solution is to have a javascript function on the opener side that check, say, every 5 sec, if the opened page is still open. 
    something like:

    function isopenCheck () {
      var delay = 5000;
      timerID = self.setTimeout("checkOpen()", delay);
    }
    function checkOpen() {
      if (window.name_of_the_opened_window && window.name_of_the_opened_window.open && !window.name_of_the_opened_window.closed) {
          try {
            name_of_the_opened_window.location.href
          } catch (e) {
            // if error, then cant access property, hence, domain changed
            //do action
          }
      } else {
        // do other action
        return;
      }
    }

    this will only work if you open the external page via a windows.open javascript function, but it should do the trick

      Hi list,

      I have a plugin, that invoke a page from different domain.
      Now I need to refresh the map when the opened page close.
      The window.opener.location.reload() function doesnot work because
      the popup is in different domain.

      Do I have any other option to do that?

      Best Regards,
