I need to redirect a page with javascript after submitting a form, the problem is that this form opens in a new tab and after opening this new tab I need to redirect the original tab to a new address.
Using the code below I can not do this:
$("#gerarBoletoForm").on('submit', function(){
window.location.replace('https://www.site.com.br/');
});
Not even if I use location.href or location.assign.
Is there any way to do this?
Based on the information you gave me, I was able to solve the problem.
First I set the target of my form in a new window created by me (not the form _target) after that I opened this new window and assign it to a variable and then submit the form.
After that I can use opener.location.href without any problems. Below is the solution code:
$("#gerarBoletoForm").on('click', function(){
document.gerarBoletoForm.target = "novaJanela";
var boletoWindow = window.open("","novaJanela","toolbar=0");
document.gerarBoletoForm.submit();
boletoWindow.opener.location.href = "https://www.site.com.br/";
});
From this it was possible to redirect the "mother window" without problems. Thanks for everyone's help!
PS: I do not know if it is the best solution but it was possible to solve it that way.
The object window.opener gives you access to the "parent" tab. With window.opener.location.href you will be able to control your url.
