Auto Refresh GrandParent window after closing popup

[ssepai]

Hi every one!

I have a window(A) which opens a popup(B)... which further opens another popup(C) and closes
it self but the parent remains open and the newly created popup does some processing and closes
itself... i would like to refresh the main Parent i.e A

I did try window.top but then it constantly refers to window (C) and window.opener does not work because (B) has already been closed.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you.

Don't let "B" close itself. Get "C" to store a reference to "B"'s parent "A", then close "B".

Ie for the third window:

var grandparent = window.opener.opener;
function closeParent(){
  window.opener.close();
}

Call closeParent() in your onload event for the third page rather than letting it close itself and you will ensure that you've saved a reference to the grandparent page.

You can then do things like:

grandparent.document.getElementById("myid").innerText = "Hi There";

Without any problems.
