Parent.parent.window.location.href not working

Question

I have a strange problem. I use fancybox in my project, where after clicking on the fancybox link I close it and try to reload the parent window. I am using this code.

<script> parent.$.fancybox.close(); parent.parent.window.location.href = '<?php echo base_url();?>home/job_posting/<?php echo $id ;?>'; </script> 

It works locally, but when a thing trying to run it on a live server does not work. I am using frameworkignign framework and doing this in my controller method.

Please, help.

Well, if you are just trying to reload the parent window after closing fancybox, just close fancybox from the open page (how you do it), for example

 <script> parent.$.fancybox.close(); </script> 

... and reload the parent page from yourself by adding an afterClose callback to your own fancybox script, for example

 $(".fancybox").fancybox({ // other API options here afterClose : function() { location.reload(); return; } }); 

On the other hand, if you are not just trying to reload the parent page, but actually trying to redirect to another page, use window.location.pathname if you are using a relative path or window.location.href for the full path.

You can also try self.location.href .

NOTE : afterClose for fancybox v2.x, for fancybox v1.3.4 use onClosed instead.
