Referesh main window when you close a pop up window

[george]

Hi All,
One of my application module has two browser windows one is Main window with all naviagtions and another one, a pop up window only for entering some additional informations to main window. After I enter my information in the Pop up Window and Clicks on Submit button,I want to refresh my Main Window automatically with entered information.
Really appreciate your valuable comments.
Thanks

Geo, you'll need to change your name to conform to Ranch policies.
Your popup window has access to the main window via the attribute opener.
Two approaches using this mechanism come to mind:
1) Define a form in the main page, invisible if appropriate, and just before the popup closes itself it can submit the form using something along the lines of:

 opener.document.theForm.submit() 

2) If you need more flexibility, define a javascript function that can do anything you want, and call it berfore closing the popup with:

 opener.someFunction()  

hth,
bear
