JavaScript - Cancel Previous Refresh Request Before New Refresh

Hi

I need some help. I have a link that opens in a new window which allows the user to perform an update to a record. On submit I want it to obviously update (which it does), then close the page and update the main page (where we opened the link from initially).

I seem to have this working using an function which is called off the submit button using onclick........the function is:

<script type="text/javascript">
function windowclose() {
window.opener.location.href = window.opener.location.href;
window.close()
}
</script>


Now, the update happens as I say, and the page closes, and the main page looks like it refreshes but the update is not reflected....if I hit f5 the update appears. Is it to do with the speed of writing to the database and updating the screen? I have also been playing around with trying to add a settimeout to add a delay between update and close/refresh but couldnt get it to work.

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers!

Here is my calander script

PHP Code:
<script src="http://www.runningprofiles.com/jquery.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<link href="http://www.runningprofiles.com/members/diary/facebox/facebox.css" media="screen" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
<script src="http://www.runningprofiles.com/members/diary/facebox/facebox.js" type="text/javascript"></script>   
<script>
jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
  $('a[rel*=facebox]').facebox()
}) </script>

what would be the best way to make it so that if you wish to chnage the month it changed the month on page rather than refresh the whole page its on?

Hi there, I'm working on a presentation and I'm going to store each page into a ".html"

So in example, I have...
"1.html"
"2.html"
"3.html"

Each number goes to each slide accordingly.

The way I was working the presentation out was having users load a webpage via mobile phone which contains an iframe. I'll change the src of the iframe to the desired slide; and the META refresh will handle displaying it to the user.

Now, here's the problem. It flashes on some browsers, like Blackberries.

I'd like for the content being refreshed to not flash, but appear naturally. That way, the user doesn't have to attempt to read flashing text (which gets -REALLY annoying)
------------------------------------
TLDR; I need some code to refresh a page/div without flashing the content on ALL if not MOST browsers. Thanks.
------------------------------------
I think I know how I'd solve this issue; but I'm not too sure how to "integrate it"

Perhaps, have a Javascript code keep the current "look" of the page static until "X" seconds. So, this would happen.

Page refresh -> Javascript holds page for 5 seconds -> Page finishes loading -> Original page revealed

It'd act kind of like a cover-up.

Hi Frnds,

I have faced some problem i.e I have 2 jsp pages.In that I want to go one jsp to another jsp.In 2nd jsp i can show my captcha code,but unfortunately it is not visible first page is reloaded in IE6.Once you refresh the page it's visible in IE6.So please help me to avoid this problem.

Thanks,

Whenever I update my website, sometimes I notice my browser shows the old version or a modification in the browser after I upload to the ftp.

Whats the best way to prevent this from happening? Preferably without noticing it happening.

Thanks.
