          I ran into a few problems with this when using FireFox (version 2).
          See my problem and solution in this thread:

              Svibuk, your script tag is invalid.
              It should be:
              Code:
              <script type="text/javascript">
</script>
              That's not what your problem is.
              In fact I'm not really sure what your problem is....

              A couple of pieces of advise I can give you is to give your child window a name when you open it...otherwise you're going to have problems accessing the JavaScript method in the parent browser when the child browser closes.

              The other thing I recommend is putting an invisible ASP.NET control (like a LinkButton or Button control with the style of display:none) on the page. When you want to refresh the browser use JavaScript to submit the page using the control.

              This way you can handle the Button/LinkButton event and in your server side code to refresh the GridView. You know that the page has been submitted because the child browser has been closed because this button is not visible/accessible to the user.

              You don't have to submit the page using the ASP.Net control..you could refresh the GridView in your Page Load event every time. This just let's you be more specific.
