close child Window and reload parent window

[AnilPrakash Raju]

Hi,

i have a parent window where a button is pressed to create a child window. In the child window i can edit and save the record. Now when i press the "Close" button(in the Child Window), i want to close the child Window and reload the parent window so it can show the latest changes.

i tried :
parent.document.location.reload();
window.close();

but it does not seem to work.

Any Suggestions


Thanks

Anil

define a function in the parent window called close child or some such, close the child then call reload on self. Hope this helps

Thanks for the reply.

But i tried something else in the child window:

opener.location = "http://name.com";
opener.focus();
self.close();

and it works.

But thanks for your solution

Actually, I saw that issue in couple cases. From my point of view, you have to have a delay between calling reload and close, something like

 parent.location.reload();
 setTimeout("self.close()",100);

My filling is that window gets closed to fast, so reload does not get a chance to start.
