Refreshing parent window from popup...

[Simon Haywood]

Hi,
I'm having problems refreshing my parent window under the following situation...
Parent opens another window showing the status of file upload/validation process. If the validation fails another window is opened allowing data to be changed. When this window is closed the validation process is restarted and the status/validation window is reloaded. If the process is successful this time, on closing the window I wish the parent to be refreshed with the imported data. Currently I get the javascript error 'object' is undefined.

when you refresh the pop up you loose the parent looses the child object.
The only solution to this problem is usining a zero height frame on the parnet window and opeing the pop up from there. You only refresh the hidden frame.

I'll give that a try.
Thanks.

Hi,
Maybe I'm having a bad day today, but still have problems with reloading parent page. Have tried implementing your suggested solution and still the the problem with lost child/parent. I may not have fully understood your solution, so could you please explain in more detail.

Thanks in advance
Simon
