Question

I’m using Fancybox to load and Iframe with a form. After I post it, onsubmit calls “return onSubmitForm()“

<script type="text/javascript">
function onSubmitForm() {
parent.jQuery.fancybox.close(); 
window.parent.location.reload(true);
}
</script>

So Php/Smarty is loading the dynamic content OK in my database. I can also close the Iframe. BUT, after reloading the parent, it’s dynamic content is not updated.

I have doing several tests and it only works occasionally (1 in 10). The previous content gets sticky.

I also started using “nocache” or “caching=0” (for PHP/Smarty variables). So far it doesn’t help.

If I reload manually the browser, it works.

Thanks!

Inside the iframe (with the form) just try closing the box

function onSubmitForm() {
  parent.jQuery.fancybox.close(); 
}

…then, in the parent page (from where you called fancybox) add this API option to your script… something like

jQuery(".fancybox").fancybox({
    type: "iframe",
    width: 640, // or whatever
    height: 320,
    afterClose : function() {
        location.reload();
        return;
    }
});
