Question

I have a php page that contains a form with information I post to another php page.

When I click submit, it opens a new page in a target=”_blank” and posts form data. However, after that happens, I want to reload the current page. Is this possible? I would also settle for redirecting the existing page to another, if reloading is not possible.

Is this achievable?

Answer 1

Quick solution:

<form action="..." target="_blank" 
  onsubmit="setTimeout('location.reload()', 500);">
...
</form>

Or for redirecting:

<form action="..." target="_blank" 
  onsubmit="setTimeout('location.href=\'/new/url\'', 500);">
...
</form>
