How to disable parent window from auto refreshing…

Hi all,

In my application I’m using ‘window.open’ method in href links in order to open new windows.

The href link and its associates at the parent page look like that:

href=”#” onclick=”startProcess(‘Some String’,’selectedForm’,’Some String’);return false;” target=”giftWin”>Gift …

function startProcess(processName,inputName,inputValue) {

…
…
window.open(sUrl,name,’height=350,width=350,resizable=1,scrollbars=1,status=1,menubar=1,toolbar=1′);

….
…

}

Right now, when child window closes (by submitting or other ), The parent window auto refreshes automatically.

This behavior (Not controlling parent refresh process) makes me lots of problems, since i need to update some variables on the parent page and submit it (and not refresh/reload) right after the child window closes.

I don’t understand what makes my browser acting like this ? (IE8)

What makes the parent window auto refreshes after its child closes, how can i control this (prevent parent from auto refresh)?

Thank’s for the help.
