Title: How to refresh a page when triggered
Post by: Thys on February 22, 2021, 02:20:24 AM

Hi,

I have an always-present drop list in a header control. When the user changes its selection, I would like to reload the IndexPage using the selection as a filter.

It's easy to detect the new selection in the drop list control. But I'm not sure how to refresh the IndexPage from there. Any help please?

Thanks
Thys

Hi Thys,

you _could_ refresh the whole page by forcing a reload, but that's a little uncool.
It's better to refresh those parts of the page that need refreshing... so perhaps refine the question a bit - what specific thing(s) on the page do you want to refresh?

cheers
Bruce

Hi Bruce.

• A model selection at the top (in page header) governs everything displayed thereafter - like a master filter over all browse controls.
• After a user has logged in, a dashboard is displayed with stats etc. related to the selected model.
• Every browse control opened now uses this model selection as a primary filter.
• What I need, is when the user selects another model, the dashboard needs to be opened with the stats of the new selection.

Attached is a screen shot to give you an idea.

Thanks Bruce.

in the server-side-code for the drop try;

p_web.script('location.reload();')

Cheers

Thanks Bruce, it works.

Where can I read about p_web.script('location.reload();')?

Hi Thys,

Think it's the same as this one, don't think it's a NT specific function.
