Embedded VF page - How to refresh the parent (standard) page?

Hi,

 

I have embedded a VF page into a standard Salesforce page for Accounts.

 

The VF page contains input fields as well as apex:relatedLists. 

Whenever I click on a link (e.g. a lookup field) or try to create a new related list entry via the 'New' button only the section of the VF page is reloaded an shows the lookup record or entry mask for a new related list item.

 

How can I make the whole Account (parent / host) page reload?

I tried target='_top' in different areas but I could not make it work.

 

Any ideas?

Many thanks!

what about Javascript?

top.location='/xxx?param1=yyy&param2=zzz';

Would JS work in this case? I thought it was not allowed because Visualforce and standard page layouts are on two different domains.

I think that, as long as you don't try to touch anything on the top frame code, it should work.

I can't try it right now, but is easy to check. (If you check, do it with several browsers, as they implement this part of the security in a wide different way)

Thanks SeAIVa,

 

I'm struggling a bit with the javascript command....

Below I have included my VF page code.

If I want to reload the entire host (account) page when clicking on for instance the apex:relatedlist section (e.g. to create a new entry) where would I need to include the top.location command?

 

Many thanks for your help!!!
