Tahi,

Just in the last couple of days I found the need to do the same thing.  My 
approach was a little different.... When I close the ch1ld window then the 
parent window comes back into 'focus' and I use the onFocus event in the 
body tag of the parent to reload a fresh copy

onFocus="location.reload(true)"

The 'true' specifically directs a reload from the server and not any copy 
that may have been cached.  

This works for me and reloads my <div>'s with updated data.

The behavior is a little strange because onFocus doesn't seem to fire when 
the page is load the first time so it acts more like onReFocus - but, it 
works.

Hope this helps.
Peter
