All,

I have the above script in an event that successfully works when I test it in my test environment. Below is the entire script:

function CloseMe()
{
window.opener.reload(true)

window.close();
}
</script>

My dilemna is that when I move this code to my live site, my page reloads, but the information does not refresh! I check my database and the records are updated. The reloaded page just does not reflect the changes UNLESS you click the browser refresh button. Then the page reloads a second time with the updated information.

I tried window.opener.refresh. This worked in testing but not on my live site. So far, the below seems to work on the live site:
function CloseMe()
{
window.opener.navigate(window.opener.location.href);

window.close();
}
</script>

Can anyone explain what possible differences could exist between my test site and live site? My network engineers assure me the environments are identical. [pc]
 
Sounds like you have some issues with page caching... true using
Code:
opener.location.replace(opener.location.href)
(or something along those lines) instead... -gerrygerry

&quot;I'm doin' a one-nighter for bitin' Ed the mail man... the guy was tryin' to cast a spell on me... like a wizard or something.&quot;
&quot;Are you sure about that?&quot;
&quot;I dunno... maybe he was just wavin' [wavey]...&quot;
