Is there any way to get the "thank you" page to pop open in a pop upand not load in the main browser?
Also, if this could be done could it be done with a timer to close the pop up after say 10 - 15 secs and then re-direct then main browser to the post just made? |

PeeWee,
Here is an older source that I use whenever I am in a tight spot for Javascript ... www.irt.org (Internet Related Technologies). Go to this area for starters on Javascript and windows (popups) ... http://developer.irt.org/script/window.htm
You may have to do a search. The site takes questions such as yours and lists them according to category, so you may find a question similar to yours when you do your search.
Cheers,
Etymon

It should be possible to open post_info.asp in a pop-up, but I'm wondering why would want to do that? For example people with a pop-up blocker probably wouldn't get their posts saved unless they add your site to a bypass list (or whatever it's called). Not to mention the fact that you'd still have post.asp open in the main window, possibly causing confusion as to whether or not a post is saved.
You should however be able to redirect people to the post they just made. For replies it's easiest if you use the topic_id and the topic's page number and then pull the new reply's ID from the database once it's saved.
For new topics it's a bit easier since you won't have to know any IDs and only need to pull the new ID from the database once the topic is saved.
Right now I don't have time to mess around with the codes, but if nobody else comes with a solution and you want me to give it a shot, let me know  |
