I need some suggestion about redirecting a page. I've a php script that when a user choose an option from a drop down menu, a javascript open a new page at that moment for the user to input something, once it's done the user can click on the Close button to close this window. After that, I want the php script to redirect to some place (e.g. http://myplace.com) instead of remain at the drop down menu. Could someone tell me how to do this. Thanks...

This is easily done with JS.

For instance:

Code: Select all

document.location.href = "http://myplace.com";
or

Code: Select all

window.location.href = "http://myplace.com"

One mistake of mine.
You do this in the opened window, not the opener window...

On the close button, set the following to the "onclick" attribute of the button:

Code: Select all

opener.location.href="http://myplace.com";

Ok, I tried with the following, but it's not working. Am I missing something?

Code: Select all

<input style="color: #A52A2A" type=submit value="Close Window" onclick="javascript:window.location = 'http://www.yahoo.com';">

Works for me
