How to close the popup window when submitting the form?

I have a sample.jsp. In that page one button is there.
when button pressed, open popup window contains one "text box" and one " submit button". when "submit" button pressed, call the "servlet" in this popup window and then close the "popup" window.

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">




<!-- Begin

var X = 200; // change the # at the left for a fixed X co-ordinate to accommodate browsers other than IE or NS

var Y = 200; // change the # at the left for a fixed Y co-ordinate to accommodate browsers other than IE or NS



if (navigator.appName.indexOf("Netscape")!=-1) {

document.captureEvents(Event.MOUSEMOVE)

function getcoords(e) {

X = parseInt(e.screenX) - 80; // change the # at the left to further adjust the left-margin depending on the size of the window

Y = parseInt(e.screenY) - 60; // change the # at the left to further adjust the top-margin depending on the size of the window

return true;}

document.onmousemove = getcoords;



function openWin() {



if (navigator.appName.indexOf("Microsoft")!=-1) {

X = parseInt(event.screenX) - 80; // change the # at the left to further adjust the left-margin depending on the size of the window

Y = parseInt(event.screenY) - 60; } // change the # at the left to further adjust the top-margin depending on the size of the window

display=window.open('','NewWin','menubar=0,locatio n=no,status=no,directories=no,toolbar=no,scrollbar s=yes,height=30,width=230')



message="<font face='verdana, arial, helvetica, san-serif' size='2'>";


message+="<form name='form1' action='./SaveFile' onsubmit='form1.submit(); self.close();' >";



message+="Enter Query Name:";

message+="<input type='text' name='query_name' />";

message+="<input type='submit' value='GO'/>";

message+="</form></font>";

display.moveTo(X,Y);

display.document.write(message); }

}



// End -->

</script>

The "onsubmit" event fires when a FORM is about to be submitted. You need to close the popup only after the form submission completed properly, in your case the you are not correctly submitting the form but the window closes.

You can do it something like this. Let the user submit the form by pressing the submit button then in your backend processing page ('./SaveFile') you'll do the processing and send some JS code for alerting the message you want and for closing the window, which will do the job.

I don't know JSP so unable to provide a working example but you can build one based on the above mentioned idea without much trouble.

Hope this helps.

thanks for your suggestion.
I wrote alert() inbetween submit() and close() in a single function and then call that function.
then problem solved
