run parent page script from child page 1

[tekkerguy]

I posted this in the ajax forum, but it applies to javascript as well.

Is there any way that. suppose I have a main page that when the user clicks the go button, it opens up a new page with a graph image. Now in the new page, I want the user to click a button, or select a new graph type from a pull down menu, and the original script from the parent page is rerun to refresh the current page?

Basically, can a child page execute javascript code from a parent page?

You can execute code in the parent page calling parent.whatever.

And you can execute code from the parent page by externalizing it to a js file and including if in child page.
