Rerender Visualforce component & reload parent window on close
Dear Community
I try to implement some fancy stuff for my form but I ssem to oversee something. The first and kind of important part is to rerender a component on the form after certain checkbox is checked.
It should represent the functionality that for one of the choices, we need more input.
Part of my page:
The second issue: Reloading the parent window on form close/submit.
I have a save button, which calls the save function in the controller and then closes the form window on completed calculations.
HYPERLINK('/apex/CancellationReport?accId=' + Account.Id + '&oppId=' + Id, 'Fill out the Form', '_blank]')
Can anybody tell me how I can achieve the form to reload my initial Salesforce page? The link to open the form can not be a button on the layout; it should be right next to a field.

Many thanks ahead ;)

Part of my page:
<apex:pageBlockSection collapsible="false" title="3. How is marketing budget used?" id="thirdQuestion"> <apex:outputPanel id="thirdQuestionOne"> <apex:selectCheckboxes value="{!selectedBudget}" layout="pageDirection"> <apex:selectOptions value="{!budget}"/> <apex:actionsupport event="onclick" action="{!CheckRendered}" rerender="thirdQuestionTwo" status="status"/> </apex:selectCheckboxes> </apex:outputPanel><br/> <apex:actionStatus id="status" startText="Please wait..." stopText=""/> <apex:outputPanel id="thirdQuestionTwo" rendered="{!isSubSelectRendered}"> <apex:selectCheckboxes value="{!selectedPlatforms}" layout="pageDirection"> <apex:selectOptions value="{!platforms}"/> </apex:selectCheckboxes> </apex:outputPanel> </apex:pageBlockSection>Important code pieces of my controller:
// Data Variables public list<String> selectedBudget {get; set;} // Control Variables public Boolean isSubSelectRendered {get; set;} public CancellationReportController() { isSubSelectRendered = false; selectedBudget = new list<String>(); } public list<SelectOption> getBudget() { list<SelectOption> options = new list<SelectOption>(); options.add(new SelectOption('PRINT','Print')); options.add(new SelectOption('FAIR','Fairs')); options.add(new SelectOption('ONLINE_SHOP','Investment in own online shop')); options.add(new SelectOption('WEBSITE','Investment in own website')); options.add(new SelectOption('NOTHING','No activities planned')); options.add(new SelectOption('OTHER_PRESENCE','Presence on other platforms (please specify)')); return options; } public void checkRendered() { if ( new set<String>(selectedBudget).contains('OTHER_PRESENCE') ) { isSubSelectRendered = true; } }When i simply render the second output panel neglecting the controller boolean value, I see that panel on the page and can use it, so it is set up correctly. What I do not know is where I have to put the action support tag or how I can make it do more than simply displaying the status and actually rerender the second output panel.
The second issue: Reloading the parent window on form close/submit.
I have a save button, which calls the save function in the controller and then closes the form window on completed calculations.
<apex:pageBlockButtons> <apex:commandButton action="{!save}" value="Save" id="SaveButton" oncomplete="window.top.close();"/> </apex:pageBlockButtons>The form was initially called by a salesforce Formula field using the HYPERLINK() function as below:
HYPERLINK('/apex/CancellationReport?accId=' + Account.Id + '&oppId=' + Id, 'Fill out the Form', '_blank]')

Oh and the form window should not replace the salesforce page, so '_blank' as the hyperlink's target should not be changed to '_self'. Changing it to '_parent' did not help as well...
