In my LAMP stack application I create invoices in pdf format. The first screen allows selections of purchase items to be included in the invoice. My pdf opens in a new tab using the $_POSTed form data which works fine, but I would also like to simultaneously reload the first page as I also update the status of purchases selected for the pdf invoice and I want the selection screen to reflect this. Any ideas anyone? NB Native Javascript or PHP solutions only please.

• Close, but no cigar - that Q is to do with refreshing a child window from parent. I want to open a child window and refresh the parent at the same time. – Peter Commented Feb 11, 2013 at 21:57

Perhaps something like this:

<a onclick="open_in_new_tab_and_reload('./path_to_pdf.pdf')" href="#">PDF</a>

<script>
function open_in_new_tab_and_reload(url)
{
  //Open in new tab
  window.open(url, '_blank');
  //focus to thet window
  window.focus();
  //reload current page
  location.reload();
}
</script>
