Question

I have an .html file (X) that depending on some value should immediately open another .html file (Y) when opening the .html file (X). What’s the best way to implement this within javascript?

Also I want that when the user presses ‘Refresh (F5)’ on Y .html the page that should be loaded again to be the one that started the current one (X).

I have an .html file (X) that
depending on some value should
immediately open another .html file
(Y) when opening the .html file (X).
What’s the best way to implement this
within javascript?

You can do this using window.open.

Also I want that when the user presses
‘Refresh (F5)’ on Y .html the page
that should be loaded again to be the
one that started the current one (X).

You can do this in the onbeforeunload event of page (Y) using

window.parent.window.location.href = window.parent.window.location.href;
