Rails spinoffs - Mar 2008 - prototype/javascript: how to update div then div forwards

I have a form in a div (actually a lightbox).  I use Ajax.Updater to
submit the form when some one clicks the OK button.  If they don''t
type some information in, the div is updated and form is displayed
again.

The issue is that when they successfully type in the info needed in
the form, the div updates, and I need the page to forward to another
location.  How can I do that?

I tried sending an http "Location:" header, but that only updates the
lightbox div, not the entire page.

When the div reloads, I tried putting this in there:

<script type=''text/javascript''>
<!--
window.location = ''Location: http://...''
//-->
</script>

But, it doesn''t appear to be running.


How can I make it forward depending on whether the user successfully
fills in the form? Thanks.

Let me first ask obvious question: If the user is being sent to a new
page upon successful form completion, what is the point of submitting
the form via Ajax ?
>  window.location = ''Location: http://...''
You want to use either window.location or location.href. I prefer the
latter. You give it a string that is a URL, it''s not like a redirect
header like you''re attempting to do.

Because every submit is not successful.  It may just redisplay the
form with some error messages.

Okay, I tried it with window.location and location.href, I put just
the link in there:


<script type=''text/javascript''>
<!--
window.location = ''http://www.somewhere.com''
//-->
</script>

It doesn''t even run the code in the div.  I know because I even put an
alert(''testing'') in there, and nothing came up.

Do you have evalScripts turned on for your Ajax request?

If you''re doing it as an ajax request why not just call
window.location in the onSucess function?

As I understod it the original problem seemd to be that the lightbox
was based on an iframe so try parent.window.location instead.
