That pesky refresh error warning - how to get rid of it? 1

[GirlFriday1]

Hello! I have a popup window that updates info in a database, closes and is supposed to refresh the table in the parent window. It works, except that the user must interact with a warning box to continue. I need to get rid of this box. Any suggestions?
My code to date is this:

<script language=javascript>
function setOther(){
window.opener.location.pathname = &quot;/ServiceBulletins/admin/manage.asp&quot;;
window.opener.DeptForm.submit();
window.opener.location.reload();
window.close()
}

Thanks!

It may be a security issue ... there are certain restrictions on the actions which you can perform on windows which you didn't open yourself.

That is true, but the parent window that I opened, opens the child window and then back again, so I don't think that security will come into play for this particular example. The info is going where it is supposed to go, but it's that extra, annoying step of manually refreshing that's the problem. I tried the window.opener.focus() to return the focus back to the parent window, but I still get the error box.
Any sugestions?
Thanks!

it's a security issue, AND also browser dependant ... meaning, you have to find a way to kill all your clients who are NOT using the proper browser with the proper option ... or maybe get used that some clients might encounter some problems.

Hello again! I figured it out (Thanks Link9!). In order to accomplish every thing that I needed to do, it was a matter of timing, literally. I created a new select statement within my program and used this Quit select to call the updating Javascript function. To call the quit, I refered to it in another select statement that actually updated the database. All of which is in an asp file. The timing came into play becase the page was refreshing before the database was actually updated. Phew!
