i have a portlet that submits to a suitelet , how can I get the suite to let refresh the portlet either directly or even alink to click

normal options for refresh require your suitelet to write a html page that has a script that refreshes its parent

do you mean the sutelite needs to call a clientscript?

run the code in their onRequest entry point

in this case, you need to run javascript in whatever is showing the response

there are 2 approaches you can use to do that in a suitelet

you can use <https://system.na0.netsuite.com/app/help/helpcenter.nl?fid=section_4625445350.html|Form.clientScriptModulePath> instead if you wish

but its generally a weakness not knowing html when working with scripts that run in a browser

currently  this is my code
``` var url=`/app/common/scripting/mapreduce/ui/MapReduceStatusDetail.nl?taskId=${mrTaskId}`
    var html = `&lt;h2&gt;Thank you for submitting task to mark all orders shipped &lt;/h2&gt; &lt;p&gt;STATUS:  ${taskStatus.status}&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href = ${url}&gt;SEE Status&lt;/a&gt;`;
    //document.location.reload()
    response.write(html, true);```

this just gives a link to the status page I would like a link our automatically to refresh the porlet after 10 seconds

you havent explained your idea just parts of it

you dont really have a link to the portlet

sorta depends on what you set as the target for your portlet's submit

but you want to use something like <https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window/opener|window.opener> to access the parent window

if you used the default, then the portlet <https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/button#attr-formtarget|form target is _self>

which basically means your portlet is gone

you dont really reload the portlet if its gone, you navigate to the portlet's url again

yes that is what im trying to figure out what is the URL ?
```var output = url.resolveScript({
      scriptId: "customscript852",
      deploymentId: "customdeploy1",
      returnExternalUrl: false,
    });```

so how do you get the url for the portlet ?

the easy options are sorta browser dependent

chrome is you right click the portlet and view the frame's source

firefox is you right click the portlet and view the frame's info or source
