i want to refresh another window from the popup 

window once i have updated my database with  the data i input into the 

popup window..the flow goes like this



1)i click on a button in the main window

2)a popup window appears

3)i input data into the popup window

4)update the database by calling Add.asp

5)close the popup window from Add.asp

6)refresh the main window so i can see the changes in the database



my problem is in step 6, because i can't refresh the main window,so i 

can't actually see the changes i have made through the pop up window...i 

will want to invoke an event to refresh the main window once i have 

updated the database

Hi,

You can do something like this

Function refreshmainwindow() {

// this will close the pop up window

Close();

// this will reload the parent window...

if (!window.opener.closed) {

		window.opener.location.reload();

		window.opener.focus();

	}=09

}



bye

vani.

Hi Chye,

What I wrote earlier is applied if you are updating the database in the 

same page (I mean in the pop up window itself, instead of calling 

Add.asp page.)



Try this one and check.....

Window.opener.close();

is for closing the popup window from Add.asp//

Then you have to refresh the main window

Main window will be

window.opener.parent.opener.location.reload();

window.opener.parent.opener.focus();



But I was unable to understand, why you need a mediator file Add.asp. 

you can as well do the additions into the database from the popup window 

itself. .or is there any special requirement for calling the Add.asp 

page...
