refresh webpage on return from popup

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
May 20.2008

I open a new window (popup page),
update some fields and cookies,
I close that window,
My Parent page is still there,
and I want that page to refresh without any user
intervention. I need to refresh the page
to trigger some updates that result from changes I made
to the cookies in the Popup window.
I am sure there is a simple answer, but as my name says,,
I am too oldfor this… 77 the worlds oldest programmer…

@ray326May 21.2008 — The easiest way to do it would be to have the popup tell its opener to refresh as it closes. An alternative would be to have code on the parent that periodically checks that the popup is still there and refreshes when it discovers it isn't.

Success!
