I know this works with IE but I don't know what support is like for other browsers:
<head>
<script language="javascript">
function refreshParent() {
parent.opener.reload(); //refreshes parent window
window.close(); //closes popup window
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form name="elForm" action="" method="">
<input type="button" name="btnClose" value="Close Popup Window" onClick="refreshParent();" />
</form>
</body>
i don't know what you're doing with your popup window, but this function and something to fire it needs to be in there. i used a button with an onclick event, but you can attatch this function to whatever you want

I've just tried using these methods but none work, and when I looked at the JavaSCript language reference there is no mention of the reload() method for 'window'.
EDIT: got it, it's a 'Location' method.
window.opener.location.reload()Last edited by Mincer; Feb 25, 2002 at 05:32.
