If you need to control how the browser behaves, you need to do it with JavaScript. Create an onsubmuit handler; submit your form to the new window; and then relocate the parent window to somewhere else.

I have tried this Java on the opened page (_blank)

but it does not seem to work at all.. Doesnt even try to refresh the original page.

Just to try and clarify my problem a little.

I have 2 pages.

Original Page 1, this is the one with the Form on it.

Insert and Document Page 2.

SO when a user clicks on the submit button on page 1 it opens page 2 and does an insert and then rolls to a report..

But when this happens I need the Original Page one to refresh.

Thank you

Yep, I understand it.

See my previous post (which you are replying to, but seem to not have read).

Thank you

OK, first things first: it's not Java. It's JavaScript. They are two completely different and unrelated things (despite the similarity in name).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_%28programming_language%29

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JavaScript

Second, google "javascript onsubmit handler". There is stacks of information & tutorials & guidance out there already, so there's no point me repeating it here.

Once you get your brain around how the onsubmit handlers work, google "javascript onsubmit open new window" and read some of the stuff about how to do that. All the info you need is already there. Indeed there is exactly the answer you need on the first page of results.

If you get to to the point of writing some code and need help with it, then post back. But you should be able to solve all this with Google and rolling up your sleeves ;-)
