How to refresh parent window?

[Guest]

Howdy,

i open a open child window using window.open.

once stuff is done in child window....user can close it by pressing close button or X on top right.

When they close child window, i want to refresh parent window and show changes from child window in parents window.
How to do this?

hi,

That's a javascript issue.

Here are some functions that I usually use for things like that:

function opener_get_element(id) {
var object = null;
object= window.opener.document.getElementById(id);
return object;
}

function opener_set_value(id, value){
if (opener_get_element(id))
opener_get_element(id).value= value;
}
function opener_refresh(formid){
opener_get_element(formid).submit();
}

cheers,
fober

What happens if you close the pop-up another way? There are at least 2 that I can think of.

the OPENER object is available in UNLOAD event.
so you can call that js function in the body's onUnload event and just
call self.close() in the button's/link's onClick event...
