Question

From my child window Im trying to refresh the parent window. I tried several js functions refresh or change the parent window url and non of them gave me what I needed.

alert(window.opener.location.href);  //gave null

//all the functions bellow changed the url to 
// http://mydomain/www.google.com
window.opener.location.assign("www.google.com");
window.opener.location.replace("www.google.com");
window.opener.location.href = "www.google.com";
window.opener.location = "www.google.com";

I also tried parent.location.href but didnt change the parent url.

Is there a way I can set the parent url to the desired url? or just let it refresh the page ?Any ideas?

EDIT
I cant post sample code because What Im doing is a bit complicated. Im using a salesforce button that calls a new window (asp.net page). I dont have much access to that page other than the .aspx page. Its a compiled version of a project we bought. In the .aspx page Im trying to call a js function because I dont have access to the code behind of that page. My js function is supposed to refresh the parent page once the user press on either (yes or no).

<cc1:ImageButton ID="btnNo" runat="server" OnClick="btnNo_Click" 
OnClientClick="pop()" Text="No" Width="40px" />



<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript">
    function pop(){

            window.opener.location.reload(true);
          //window.opener.location.href = "www.google.com";

    }

</script>

Answer 1

This should work:

window.opener.location.reload(false);
