Hi,

But this was updating the particular div. I want to redirect the whole page. How to do it?

Answer 1

you may need to do it the old way :)

window.opener.location.href = "new page";

Answer 2

I believe that you can supply a parameter to redirect which will change the controller.

In an application I have written I use:

$this->redirect(array('controller' => 'users', 'action' => 'login');

when I want to prompt the user for a login.

You can find the full documentation for redirect here
