How to refresh parent page on closing a popup ?
In this article, we are given the task to refresh the parent page by closing a popup.
Approach: The Steps to achieve this are as follows:
- Create a page.
- Create a popup.
- Popup should contain a button that when clicked refreshes the parent page.
- Attach an event listener to that button and listen for the click event on that button.
- Clicking on that button triggers a function that reloads the parent page.
Reloading is achieved by JavaScript using the below statement
The location.reload() method in HTML DOM is used to reload a current page document, this method refreshes the current document.
Syntax:
window.location.reload();
Note: Use internal CSS to make the page look beautiful. And all CSS code is within <style> tag.
Example: This example uses the above-explained approach.
html
<!DOCTYPE html><html lang="en"><head> <meta charset="UTF-8"> <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0"> <title> Refresh Example </title></head><body> <!-- Create a simple web page --> <div> <h1>Refresh Example </h1> <button class="btn" id="popup-btn"> Show popup </button> </div> <!-- Create a simple popup which is hidden using CSS --> <div id="wrapper"> <div id="popup"> <div> <h2>POPUP</h2> <button class="btn" id="close-btn"> Close </button> </div> </div> </div></body></html> |
