My goal is to open a new window when the user clicks on the link and then reload the main page to go back to the previous content. The first code snippet below works in IE and FireFox but doesn’t pop a new window in Safari. The second code snippet works in all 3 browsers but in Safari doesn’t perform the history.go(-1); to go back to the previous page on a main window.

Also, in a second snippet, if I put “return true;” after “history.go(-1);” history.go(-1); does work but the new window doesn’t pop up (target=””_blank””).

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Ryan

    Try

    <script>
sso.submit();
setTimeout(function() { history.back();},1000)   
</script>

    then try returning <script>opener.history.back()</script> from your server when you submit
    Lastly give your form a submit button and try clicking it instead of submitting the form
    document.getElementById('subbut').click()
