call.respondRedirect("/path", permanent = false)h

05/31/2018, 1:22 PMIt is possible to do redirects also from html content, but not as recommended.
Via html header:
Copy code
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; url=/path" /> Copy code
<script type="text/javascript">
document.location.href = '/path';
</script>h

05/31/2018, 1:23 PMAh, okay.
Hamza
05/31/2018, 1:38 PMOkay, related, but not really: Instead of redirecting the user, is there a way to update the html some how without reloading? Showing another text input, etc? I guess it’s possible with js/php, but how with ktor?

05/31/2018, 1:39 PMThe same way as PHP: if you want to change the contents dynamically, you would have to use JS

05/31/2018, 1:42 PMI don’t think that’s something related to ktor.
Check examples from here: http://api.jquery.com/jquery.ajax/
You can generate a page in ktor and use jquery to read that page, extract a fragment of it and replace some content of your current page.

05/31/2018, 1:43 PMIf you mean if ktor has a feature to generate that javascript. No, it doesn’t.

05/31/2018, 1:43 PMi was thinking of something like when you submit a form, it just updates the current page saying “thank you for submitting the form”, but you stay on the page, and it just shows a little input box, so you can fill it out again. but when you click it, it also runs some kotlin code, which i’ve already got working

05/31/2018, 1:44 PMthat’s still javascript
Deactivated User
05/31/2018, 1:44 PMjavascript handling the onsubmit event of the form, preventing it from executing the default code

05/31/2018, 1:45 PMah, ok

Deactivated User
05/31/2018, 1:45 PMthen you can in that code, add that text, and fetch another page without loading in your main frame
Deactivated User
05/31/2018, 1:45 PMor creating an invisible iframe and setting the target of the frame there
Deactivated User
05/31/2018, 1:45 PMbut you would still need to use javascript to change the text
