refresh parent browser from a popup

[hazza]

I am opening a popup and in that popup i have a form which is updating a database. when the form is submitted i want to close the popup and refresh the parent window.

I can get it all working but am stuck on how to refresh the parent.

any ideas?

thanks in advance

parent.location.reload(true);


Or...


opener.location.reload(true);

I've been trying to do something similar, but I can't get it to work.

I think it's because the popup contains a multi-page dialogue, rather that just one page.

either that or (also very possible) I'm inept when it comes to javascript!

here's what the link on the page says:<a href="javascript:window.opener.location.reload(true); window.close()">

it closes the window OK, but doesn't refresh the parent

any ideas?

<a href="#" onclick="opener.location.reload(true); window.close();">
