Form submit question

It's not a stupid question. I think it is possible, but tricky. I think there is another issue asking this question, and I advised them to try using the forceReturn option. But I never heard if it worked for them.

I got a similar problem. And I don't think forceReturn is going to work because the link is build AFTER the form was submitted, based on information obtained from the form.The way I understand forceReturn, you put a url in the popup options in the original link that opens the popup.

Can you maybe look at adding an option that works like this?
Click popup link on page. Popup form opens. Enter values and click submit. Popup close and the new page opens based on information from form.

You may then want to look at the afterSubmit option that went in recently #336063: Add an "afterSubmit" option to hook_popups().. I've been using it very successfully to do things like this. Example: After a confirmation form is submitted, show a custom dialogue (Drupal.popups.message()) or redirect to another page of your choosing. I'm sure that based upon the data entered in the form you should be able to something like

Drupal.behaviors.myPopupsAfterSubmit = function(data, options, element) {
  var $ur = data.something; //something from the data variable
  Drupal.popups.close();
  window.location.href = $uri;
};

@Max - you are probably right. It seems like forceReturn would have to be tweaked a bit to work in this circumstance.
@sirktree - very clever suggestion. I bet that could work. Although I don't think you'd want to have myPopupsAfterSubmit be a behavior. Just a plain function would do.
