Refreshing parent window

Hi,

I have two forms, parentForm and childForm. parentForm has
a button(btn1) and a grid. childForm has a couple of
textboxes and a button.

The button on parentForm opens a new window of childForm:

btn1.Attributes("onclick")="javascript window.open(...."

In childForm a couple of textboxes are filled in and then
saved with the button using normal sql behavior.

I need some function to refresh the parentForm from the
childForm to get the parentForm to update (show) what's
been added to the grid.

Something like:

window.opener.method

that will do the same thing as

Response.Redirect("parentForm.aspx")

thus showing the added record in the grid.

Any help is appreciated.

TIA

window.opener.refresh() and window.opener.reload() should both work...

Hope this helps,

You need to write the following javascript code when you want to refresh the
parent window

window.opener.location.href = window.opener.location.href;
 
Saravana,
window.opener.location.href = window.opener.location.href;
Click to expand...

is the one that works, but there's one thing that doesn't
work. When I save the first time, the result is not
showed, but when I save the next time the first saved
record is showed in the parentForm grid, and when saving
the third the second record is shown???

Any ideas?

Info for you: I use code behind in VB, and I have used a
normal javascript function between the <head> tags not a
Page.RegisterClientScriptBlock.

Upon calling the method in the javascript code I ise
webCtrl.Attributes("onlick")...

I solved it myself, took some time, but I used the
Page.RegisterStartupScript with
window.opener.location.href and it just smashed in.

Thanks.
