Refershing the parent page from the second child

[Mike Anna]

Hi,

I need to refresh the parent page from the second child window which is opened by the first child and the first child window closes after opening the second child.

This is the second time I am typing the post, I lost all content because the site complaine I was using the lesser than symbol.

here is the code I wrote for this. the first child doesnt open the second child in IE. however, in firefox, the first child does open the second one but closes without even me writing code to close. Ofcourse, it doesnt call the script on the parent page.

Parent :

 <a href="javascript:void(0);"
NAME="My Window Name" title=" My title here "
onKlick=window.open("child.html","Ratting","width=550,height=170,0,status=0,");> Click here to open the child window</a> 

child :

     
<script language="JavaScript">
function goback()
{
window.opener.location.reload("google.com");
window.close();
}
</script>
 

and then called the function with a button
 
open another window
<a href="javascript:void(0);"
NAME="My Window Name1" title=" My title here11 "
onKlick=window.open("child2.html","Ratting","width=150,height=120,0,status=1");>Click here to open the child window</a> 
 
<input type="button" value="Close this window" Onklick="goback()">

child1 (this is saved as child2.html on my system):

    
<script language="JavaScript">
function goback()
{
window.opener.location.reload("google.com");
window.close();
}
</script>
 

and then called the function with a button on parent
 
<input type="button" value="Close this window" OnKlick="goback()">

ofcourse the onklick is typo'd because this site wont take it

Well if you would want to talk to the parent from the second window it ould be window.opener.opener, but I am not sure if that will actually work since the 1st pop up is closed.
