Close onSubmit

I have a DA form that opens in a lightbox that I would like to close the lightbox after submission.

If I add

parent.location.reload();parent.Shadowbox.close();

to the onSubmit button no data is submitted, I have tried to add this to the redirect url option (just in case) but this didn't work as it was looking for a page with this name.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how I could add this?

Many Thanks

By using parent.location.reload(), you are reloading the page on the onClick of the button, before the form is submited.

ussusally to open a lightbox, you just change the Display Property from none to block. To close the lighbox, you change the display property from block to none.

I'm not positive, but that may be what parent.Shadowbox.close(); does, try that with out the parent.location.reload() in front of it.

I have tried your suggestion, the lightbox closes but the data isn't submitted to the database.

Is there a way to add this JS to the url part of the redirect rather than in the onclick ?

maybe set the redirect to <pagename>.php?insert=true


Then add a php if statement to change the <body> tag




php:
<?php if(isset($_GET['insert']) && $_GET['insert'] == "true") { ?>
<body onload="parent.Shadowbox.close();">
<?php } else { ?>
<body>
<?php ?>

Due to restrictions with the DW Template that I was using I created a new blank page with the body tag that you suggested. Then set the form to redirect to the new page.

Works perfectly!

I am trying to get this working on new website.

When a user succesfully logs in they get redirected to a new page.

I have put the php code on the new page, however the new page loads in the lightbox and then closes the lightbox and the page in it.

I need the lightbox to close and the new page to be visible.
