Open window on top of the original window

[lwbadea]

don't know too much about java script ;I am using javascript on oracle Portal development tool

I was force to use it on my portal forms;
Here is the scenario:
form FRM1 based on procedure; onClick submit button is getting the value of one field and is opening form FRM2 populating with this passed value;

everything is OK except is opening a new browser window and I dont want this; I want to keep it in the same original window.

I am using :

var URL new string = '.......';

window.open(URL);





Thanks

instead of window.open
use
document.location.href = url;

this will load it in the same window.

Thanks Khalid for your prompt help again

But instead of opening the frmB on the same window is keeping the same frmA.

Khalid Strictly speaking there is no such thing as document.location.href and it will not work on all JavaScript enabled browsers. Use window.location.href or window.location instead.

And you can get away with document.location but not document.location.href.

I've been trying

document.location = url;
or
document.location.href=url;

with the same results ; keep opening the original window(like a refresh).

That could only happen if the url does not have the next pags value

This what u must have

var url = "nextPage.html"

and then use the code posted above.

my code is now like this

var URL new string('http://portal ..../');

var URL = 'nextPage.html';

document.location.href = URL;

but the result is the same original window.
