Open a new window and refresh the page

[electricmouse]

Hi. I am trying to open a link in a new window and refresh the original page at the same time, on one click.

I tried this but it doesnt work. All it does is refresh the page but doesn't open the link in a new window.

<a href="my link" target="blank" onClick="javascript:history.go(0)">Click here</a>

What should I do?

Your example was not refreshing the page ... and only opening in the new window for me. Try this:

<a href="http://www.google.com" target="blank" onClick="javascript:document.location.reload(true)">Click here</a>

Still only refreshing the page for me...
I'm using firefox. Is it not compatible with this script?

It was working in Chrome. Apparently Firefox doesn't like it. This should do the trick though:

<a href="http://www.google.com" target="_blank" onClick="openWindowReload(this)">Click here</a>
<script>
			function openWindowReload(link) {
				var href = link.href;
				window.open(href,'_blank');
				document.location.reload(true)
			}
		</script>

It works
Thanx!
