Refresh/Reload a DIFFERENT window 1

[AlbertAguirre]

Hi, I am opening a pop up window that allows the user to create a directory on the file server.
Once he creates it, I would like the MAIN window / page to refresh.

How do I refresh a different (or main window) with javascript?

Within the popup window code you can do this (assuming you haven't refreshed the popup window at all):

window.opener.refresh();

You can invoke the same reload function over the parent.

Thank you so much for your help.

window.opener.refresh() does not work. Says Object does not support this property of method. Am i doing something wrong?

Ah Diancecht !!! This works opener.location.reload(true);

Thank you!
