The page I am working on has a javascript function executed to print parts of the page. For some reason, printing in Safari, causes the window to somehow update. I say somehow, because it does not really refresh as in reload the page, but rather it starts the "rendering" of the page from start, i.e. scroll to top, flash animations start from 0, and so forth. The effect is reproduced by this fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/fYmnB/ Clicking the print button and finishing or cancelling a print in Safari causes the screen to "go white" for a sec, which in my real website manifests itself as something "like" a reload. While running print button with, let's say, Firefox, just opens and closes the print dialogue without affecting the fiddle page in any way. Is there something with my way of calling the browsers print method that causes this, or how can it be explained - and preferably, avoided? P.S.: On my real site the same occurs with Chrome.

Why can't you POST with Ajax, and then whenever it returns, do a Javascript redirect within the callback function? Just have the server provide the URL to redirect to as a response.
ReplyDeleteYou can create and send a form or use ajax. There is no other way I know of.
ReplyDeleteBut why not: First save the data using ajax post and then go to the new page.
$.post('youscript.php', function(data) {
window.location.href = data;
});
Otherwise see this old question on how to send it with a dynamically created form.
simplest approach is to use jquery and click() events. and passing them as var's in a dataset using data: {data1: datavals}
ReplyDeleteill edit this post once the code is written.
update:
<input type="text" name="data1" id="data1" value="" placeholder="Input text for data 1">
<input type="text" name="data2" id="data2" value="" placeholder="Input text for data 2">
<input type="submit" name="submit" id="submit" value="submit">
$("#submit").click(function(){
$.ajax({
url: "process.php",
data: {data1: $("#data1").val(), data2: $("#data2").val()},
dataType: "json",
type: "POST"
});
});
