Question

Is it possible to refresh parent page from child’s child page using javascript.

I have a webform which opens a child window, a button on child window closes the present child window and opens a subchild window. Now a button on subchild should close the window and refresh the parent form.

Please suggest me the way of doing it.

Thank You.

For button click event

Code in Parent Page

function fun()

{
 window.open('Child.aspx');    
 return false;
}

Code in child page

function fun()

{
 window.close();
 window.open('SubChild.aspx');     
 return false;
}

Use following in your child window.

<script type="text/javascript">
    function openwindow()
    {
        opener.document.location.reload(true);
    }
</script>

create two files
1] parent.html

<script type="text/javascript">
    function openwindow(url)
    {
    window.open(url, "mywindow","location=1,status=1,scrollbars=1,resizable=no,width=650,height=650");
    }
</script>


<a href="javascript: openwindow('/home/Salil/Desktop/child.html')">Open Child</a>

2] child.html

<script type="text/javascript">
    function openwindow()
    {
        opener.document.location.reload(true);
    }
</SCRIPT>

<a href="javascript: openwindow()">Refresh Parent</a>

write a function in child1.html

function child1()
    {
        opener.document.location.reload(true);
    }

call that function form child2.html as follows

function child2()
{
    window.opener.child1();

}
