Reloading parent page from a iframe pop

[The Jonathan]

Hello.

Im having a bit of a dilema.

Im opening a pop up window from inside an iframe.
The popup contains this code
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">

var myTimeout=setTimeout("closeWindow()",3000);

function closeWindow() {
window.opener.location.reload();
window.close();
}
</script>

This closes it and reloads the iframe, but what I want it to do is reload the entire page that the iframe is on instead.

Any ideas? Thank you.

Instead ofwindow.opener.location.reload();
Trywindow.opener.top.location.reload();

Well, I feel moronic now...

I cant believe I didnt try that, I tried

window.opener.top.reload();

And just about everything else, and I almost tried that one, but I gave up and came here...

Thank you very much.

Ive come across an odd problem.

It works on every page on my site, but when I go to a page in the forums with a url such as this

index.php?&act=ST&f=2&t=2&st=0&

It no longer works, the pop up just stays, it never closes and the page doesnt refresh.

Any Ideas why?

This is really odd, sometimes this will work perfectly, but then then for apparantly no reason itll just stop working. It starts giving me a Permission denies error, and as soon as it does it once it wont work anwhere else on my site... even though it did just a few minutes before.

Any reason this is happening? Any ideas how to fix it?
Thanks.

"Access Denied" is a security warning that you are trying to script across domains. If you ever load a page that is not in the same domain, you get stuck in that condition until you start over.

I see, so even though its on the same server if its called in one of the forums pages it thinks its a seperate server and will make it inactive across the rest of my site. Damn.

I wonder why it does that, and why it only messes it up only on the forums pages.
