Refresh "parent" page when closing a cfwindow

Report · May 23, 2012

When displaying a cfwindow and I click the x in the top right, how can I refresh the "parent" page?

The cfwindow has a small form that collects data in a couple of fields then submits in the cfwindow to a page that inserts the request, sends and email and says the action is complete.

This is my cfwindow:

<cfwindow

name="NewRequestWindow"

center="true"

closable="true"

draggable="false"

height="550"

width="700"

modal="true"

initShow="false"

refreshOnShow = "true"

resizable="false"

title="#WindowText#"

source="NewRequest.cfm?pk=#pk#" />

<a href="#" onclick="javascript:ColdFusion.Window.show('NewRequestWindow')"><img src="../includes/images/add.png" alt="Add" title="<cfoutput>#WindowText#</cfoutput>" width="16" height="16" border="0" /></a>

Thanks, Cliff

This JavaScript will reload the current page:

document.location.reload()

From within your cfwindow it should work for the entire page.
