Modal window and its side-effects

[K Aditi]

Hi,
I have a jsp page from which I am opening a modal window by using showModalDialog. Through this modal window I am transferring control to a servlet where it does some database processing.
Now I want to close the modal window after servlet processing. I was able to do this by executing the following code in the servlet.

PrintWriter printwriter = httpservletresponse.getWriter();
printwriter.println("<script>");
printwriter.println("window.close();");
printwriter.println("</script>");

The modal window closes but the window which invoked the modal window is also getting reloaded with the modal window contents.
Any work-around for this?

What I want is, After closing/submitting the modal window, it should close automatically and the parent window should refresh.
Any help will be appreciated.

Put the

window.location.reload(true);

line after the modal window line.

Thanks Eric.It worked.

Can I somehow avoid closing the modal window from the servlet?
I'd prefer doing the operation from the parent jsp.
Being pretty new to javascript and jsp/servlet can somebody provide me with a pointer to it?Thanks.
