Question

I have a aspx page that pops up a new window to edit some info. When the user is done editing they click save and at the end of the save event I have this C# code:

Context.Response.Write("<script type='text/javascript'>window.parent.location.reload(true);window.frameElement.commitPopup();</script>");
Context.Response.Flush();
Context.Response.End();

So that the parent page will refresh and display the updated info. My problem is that if I have done some other action on the previous page that caused a postback, the code above will try to redo that postback (attempting to delete an item for instance).

Is there some way that I can update my information on the parent page without redoing the last postback?

Answer 1

Why not just load the same page with a random parametre, to force the load, but not make reload that make and post back

window.parent.location.href = window.parent.location.href + '?rnd=' + Math.random();

Now if your href have all ready other parametres, you can add &rnd.

If you make many reloads you can replace the rnd like this:

window.parent.location.href = window.parent.location.href.replace(/\?rnd.*$/, '?rnd' + Math.random());

Also you can do

window.parent.location.replace(window.parent.location.href.replace(/\?rnd.*$/, '?rnd' + Math.random()));
