Close child window, redirect parent window
I’ve got a page which opens a child window, from a parent.
After the user has done something in the child window, I need the child window to close, and its parent window to be redirected to a page, on the click of a button in the child window.
Any ideas?
from child:
opener.location.href="https://stackoverflow.com/redirect";
close();
The key is to use window.opener to access the parent window:
<script>
window.opener.location = '/redirect.html';
window.close();
</script>
try this:
var parent = window.opener;
parent.location ='some url';
window.close();
here is an example in a fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/maniator/jGbZq/
Please try below :
window.opener.location.reload();
close();
- window.opener.location.reload(); will reload the parent window.
- close() will close the child window
It works fine for me.
