How to addInfoMessage after location.reload()

[brysonelson]

I have the below script that works properly, besides adding the info message.

I am thinking that the info message doesn't have time to run while the page is loading. 

Would a setTimeout be a good option, or is there a better way to do this?

function getWarranties() {
	//alert("You Clicked Me!");
	var ga = new GlideAjax('MoxyiUtils');
	ga.addParam('sysparm_name', 'getWarranty');
	ga.addParam('sysparm_serial_number', g_form.getValue('serial_number'));
	
	ga.getXML(handleResponse);
}

function handleResponse(response) {
	
	var userAnswer = response.responseXML.documentElement.getAttribute('answer');
	location.reload();
	
alertUser(userAnswer);
}

function alertUser(counter) {
	g_form.addInfoMessage(counter + ' ' + 'Alert User Working');
}

Hi,

Why to reload and then show message?

it won't work; once your reload the page then the page loads and next code won't work

try this; don't use reload

function getWarranties() {
	//alert("You Clicked Me!");
	var ga = new GlideAjax('MoxyiUtils');
	ga.addParam('sysparm_name', 'getWarranty');
	ga.addParam('sysparm_serial_number', g_form.getValue('serial_number'));
	
	ga.getXML(handleResponse);
}

function handleResponse(response) {
	
	var userAnswer = response.responseXML.documentElement.getAttribute('answer');
        g_form.addInfoMessage(counter + ' ' + 'Alert User Working');	

}

I need the form to reload to reflect changes in the contract section of the hardware asset table. I then want to give the user confirmation of what just happened with an info message

Hi,

but in your script you are not setting any value etc then what is the purpose of the above script?

I am adding contracts to the asset via a script include, then I want to pass back the number of contracts that were added to the client, refresh the hardware asset form, so the contracts actually show up under the asset, and then alert the user that everything was successful.

If i add the message before the reload, then it just disappears right away on the form reload.
