while in an iframe a user submits a popup window form.
the popup window closes and the parent window reloads redirecting user back to homepage.
here is the iframe code:
<iframe src="iframe.php"></iframe>
here is the popup inside the iframe:
function popupwnd(url, toolbar, menubar, locationbar, resize, scrollbars, statusbar, left, top, width, height)
{
if (left == -1)
{
left = (screen.width/2)-(width/2);
}
if (top == -1)
{
top = (screen.height/2)-(height/2);
}
var popupwindow = this.open(url, '', 'toolbar=' + toolbar + ',menubar=' + menubar + ',location=' + locationbar + ',scrollbars=' + scrollbars + ',resizable=' + resize + ',status=' + statusbar + ',left=' + left + ',top=' + top + ',width=' + width + ',height=' + height);
}
<a href="javascript:popupwnd()" target="_parent" title="Login into the Site">Login To Buy</a>
here is the javascript to close the poup window and redirect user to homepage:
<script>
window.opener.location = /;
window.close();
</script>';
this process doesn't work in chrome or safari but does in IE and firefox.
