retURL in URLFOR not redirecting correctly

I have a VF page that is embedded inline on a custom object page layout section.  In the VF page, I used a command button to redirect to another custom object using the URLFOR New Action.

 

<apex:commandButton onclick="window.parent.location.replace('{!URLFOR($Action.Design__c.New)}');" value="Add Design" rendered="{!IF(designId == null, true, false)}" />

 This works and opens the custom object in the create 'New' record mode.  However, if I click 'Cancel' the retURL opens my VF page directly and not inline on the custom object page layout, which is very bad.  I displays the VF page with no way to get back to the Salesforce UI without hitting the back button.

 

How can I set the retURL probably in the URLFOR method so when the user clicks cancel that it will redirect them back to the correct page?

 

Thanks.

Found the solution:

 

{!URLFOR($Action.Design__c.New, null, [retURL=SOMEOBJECTID])}

 

Replace "SOMEOBJECTID" with the Id of the custom object record you were originally viewing.

You can try to mention the retURL value explicitly.

 

<apex:commandButton onclick="window.parent.location.replace('{!URLFOR($Action.Design__c.New)}'+'&retURL=/{!Design__c.ID}');" value="Add Design" rendered="{!IF(designId == null, true, false)}" />

 Just a thought. May not work out so well.
