location.href - page keeps loading page

[holmescreek]

Hi,

I have a little code, basically, it does a modal pop-up and once the modal pop-up is closed the page is supposed to refresh. The problem is, the first time the modal window pops up and closes the page loads fine. However, the next time you open the modal window and close it the page refreshes to the correct url, displays the page, but the page just keeps on loading forever.

Here is the code. Any suggestions?

  <script language="Javascript">
   
     function PopStory(bid,sectionid){
		var bannerwindow;   
		var leftPos = (screen.availWidth-748) / 2
		var topPos = (screen.availHeight-478) / 2 
		var cmd = 'editstory.php?id=' + bid + '&SECTION=' + sectionid;
							
		var returnlocation = './index.php?PAGE=<?php echo $PAGE;?>&SECTION=<?php echo $SECTION; ?>';
							  
		bannerwindow = window.showModalDialog(cmd, "","dialogWidth=748px;dialogHeight=478px;status:off;");
                                    
            location.href = returnlocation;
								
	}
							                              
 
	</script>

you forgot to define on which object you want add the location.href...
maybe the object will be window...
and btw... define the relative path....

There is no code there to handle poping up anything for browsers other than Internet Explorer. Is this on an intranet?

location.href should assume itself.

If you look close, the pop up is in a modal state so the location.href runs only after the modal pop-up is closed.



(yes, this is on an intranet)
