Navigating to new page after insert

Question

I would like to navigate to a specific page after the user hits insert on a form application component (I still want the insert action to take place). I have wirtten a pl/sql procedure to do this as follows:
create or replace procedure run_in_same_window
as
begin
htp.p('<script>window.open("http://www.oracle.com","_self");</script>');
end;
If I run this routine independently of the form component, it works fine. However, I have added it to the insert button as follows:
doInsert;
run_in_same_window;
Now the insert works fine, but the navigation to the new window is ignored. I have tried coding in a delay before the call to run_in_same_window, but this doesn't seem to help. Any ideas???
Thanks,
Gillian

Hi,
You should not use pl/sql proc and javascript to do this. Oracle already provides a functionality to achieve what you are trying to do.
On your portal form, on the "successful submission of form" section, you should call your url in the following way:
go(myurl) ---- where myurl is your url.
hope this helps.
