Close and refresh with bookmark?

[Targa]

After I submit a form from a popup window, I use the following code to close
the popup and refresh the parent window.

<a href="#" onclick="window.opener.location.reload();self.close();return
false;">

The link to the popup window is at the bottom of the parent page (long) and
I jump to it with a bookmark. Currently, after the refresh occurs, the
parent page ends up back at the top. Is there a way to adjust the above code
(or use a different method) to go back to the bookmark when the parent is
refreshed?

Thanks in advance!!!

Hi Targa,

The link to the popup window is at the bottom of the parent page
(long) and I jump to it with a bookmark. Currently, after the refresh
occurs, the parent page ends up back at the top. Is there a way to
adjust the above code (or use a different method) to go back to the
bookmark when the parent is refreshed?

I assume with bookmark you mean the history of that browser window. No
there is no good way of doing that, because calling a history.back()
after the location.reload() has happend won't work. However, what you
might be able to do is not reload the page, but request the URL again,
but use a # to jump to the link.

window.opener.location.href='mypage.html#popup';

All you need to do is give the a name to your link on the bottom:

<A HREF="#" NAME="popup" ...>Blah</A>

And when the parent is reloaded it should jump to the original link
for the popup window.

Good luck,
Vincent
