Refresh on Focus

[KizMar]

How do you code a page so when the window "focus()" is set the page will refresh?

Probably something like:

window.onfocus = self.location.reload();

but it would just refresh and refresh and refresh endlessly. Seems a bit daft.

I figured out a way to do it. Thank you though!

You "...figured out a way to do it..." ? What were you trying to do exactly? I'm with theboyhope - why would you want to continually reload the same page?

Please explain!?!?

The long story is I was opening a popup window and then at a later point closing it. I didn't have the syntax correct to "reload" the parent window from the logoff routine. I hadn't used that method before and didn't know you had to use "location" just before it. So at the end of the logoff aspx page I'm just doing:

<script language=javascript>
opener.location.reload();
self.close();
</script>

Before I thought that somehow I was losing the &quot;opener&quot; object, but I just wasn't calling it correctly to use the &quot;reload&quot; method.
