Problem with pop-up

[Anand Jayaraman]

Hi Guys!


I have a problem and I hope someone can help me out here. It goes like this:

I have a page. This page has links which opens up a pop-up window. This pop-up window has a Save button which will do some operation for the user. Once the Save button is clicked, the pop-up will close. Now, I want the parent page (the page which had my links) to reload automatically once the pop-up is closed.

How do I do it?

What I have been doing is::

-- have a function like this:

 
if(theFormIsValid)
{

formObj.submit();
self.close();
window.opener.parent.location.reload(true); // Is this the right way???


}

Thanks.......

this should do it I think...

window.opener.reload();

or simply

window.opener.location.replace=window.opener.location.href;

Hi Eric!

I guess you've got me wrong here. When I cause the pop-up window to close, I must force the parent page to reload. And thus, in the pop-up window, I have included that code.

I tried windo.location.reload(), but what it does is, it reloads the pop-up window before closing it.

The first time I looked at your code I did not see the main problem. You are closing the window before you call the reload function. You must call the reload function, then close the pop up window. If you close the window then the reload statement will not be called.

This should do it...
window.opener.reload();
window.close();
