How do I close a pop-Upo and refrest the calling parent?

[rvancleef]

I am a javascript newbie and have what hopefully is an easy question:

I am working on a web app with the following:
ProjResc.asp calls iProjstaff.asp through an iFrame.
Either ProjResc.asp or iProjStaff can call Projassignment.asp which is a pop-up form that updates a database.

When I do a window.close() on projassignment.asp after modifying a record in the database, projresc.asp and iProjstaff still reflect the old DB values.

How can I close the projassignment.asp Pop-Up and refresh Projresc.asp and iProjstaff.asp?

I only just discovered this for myself yesterday, with a similar situation.

You can refer back to the 'calling' window, the parent, from the child form with the following syntax, e.g.:

opener.editbox1.value = "New Value";

So in my case, having got the new value in a record set, my asp page contained...

opener.editbox1.value = &quot;<%=recset(&quot;add1&quot %>&quot;;

I hope I've understood your question ok.

href=&quot;javascriptpener.location=opener.location;window.close()&quot;
