Close ColorBox iFrame after submit

Question

I'm using jQuery ColorBox to display a shopping cart item. When a user enters the quantity in the iFrame (opened with colorbox) and clicks on the submit button, I want the iFrame to be close and main window (parent) to be refreshed automatically.

I mean I want two things after submitting data on iFrame:

1. iFrame closes automatically.
2. Parent window getting refresh automatically.

Please help me out.

Answer 1

use this on the parent window while opening iframe:

$(document).ready(function(){
    $(".chpic").colorbox({width:"80%", height:"80%", iframe:true, 
        onClosed:function(){ location.reload(true); } });
});

and this to close the iframe inside iframe page:

parent.$.fn.colorbox.close();

Answer 2

After the form is submitted in Frame 1, you can use the following JavaScript to reload the parent frame:

window.parent.location.reload(true);

Answer 3

<form target="_top">

Answer 4

open jquery.colorbox.js find these two pieces of code:

$close.click(function () {
  publicMethod.close(); 
});


$overlay.click(function () {
  if (settings.overlayClose) {
    publicMethod.close();
  }
});

replace with these - note the addition of " window.location.reload();"

$close.click(function () {
  publicMethod.close();
  window.location.reload();         
});


$overlay.click(function () {
  if (settings.overlayClose) {
    publicMethod.close();
    window.location.reload();
  }
});

Answer 5

I would take a look at http://colorpowered.com/colorbox/core/example1/index.html

Specifically, look at "Example with Alerts"

Answer 6

Just simply simulate a click on the close button, like this:

$("#cboxClose").click();

Answer 7

Give form tag like this:

<form target="_top">

then after submit:

response.redirect("your form")

Answer 8

If you're using Drupal 7, you may need to use the following alternative:

parent.jQuery.colorbox.close();

In D7, the $.fn seems to be replaced by the jQuery object.

I simply setup a menu callback which simply returned this:

return <<<EOF
<script type="text/javascript">
  <!--//--><![CDATA[//><!--
  parent.jQuery.colorbox.close();
  //--><!]]>
</script>
EOF;

Seemed to work fine for me :)

If you want to stay on current page :

1. write the following code on parent page where colorbox is applied.

   $(document).ready(function(){
   
    $(".tu_iframe_800x600").colorbox({width:"80%", height:"100%", iframe:false 
   
     });
   });
   

2. and the following code on your current page where you want to close colorbox parent.$.fn.colorbox.close();

Note: please replace .tu_iframe_800x600 with your html class on which the colorbox is called...
