Refresh parent from the child

Hi,
I am updating few data in the child window after making the chnages, i am submiting the child window and closing. I would like to refresh the home page to see the updated data on the parent. Could you help me on this.
I would appreciate greatly.

basic idea from the child window

window.opener.location.href=window.opener.location.href;
self.close();

Thanks Eric.

Or — slightly shorter:

reload has issues with some browsers that is why I did it the way I did,
Eric

Not that I doubt your claim for a second, however, do you have anything in which could prove this? According to the documentation, the location.reload method has been supported since JavaScript 1.1 (i.e., Netscape 4.x), so I highly doubt there would be any support issues.

Ahhhermmm... CSS postiioning has been around for a long time too and IE still has yet to get it right. Just because something's been around for a while doesn't mean it's supported correctly.

Actually, if you are referring to the CSS box model, IE6 supplied with a strict DOCTYPE gets it pretty much right. Though, in quirks mode it is completely messed up. By no means am I an IE fan — quite the contrary actually — however, it's just to make a point.

I agree, but to an extent. Any browser in which supports JavaScript at the very least implements JavaScript 1.1. So it's safe to say that since this method has been introduced in JavaScript 1.1, any browser in which implements JavaScript will support this method.
