Two Windows

[adry]

Hi, I have two different windows: 1) Main page, 2) login box.

The login.html (in 2nd window) calls login.php, it verifies if the user/pass
info is correct, if everything is right I want that window self-close (no
problem with window.close method) but I need also to reload main page... how
can I do in JavaScript this? must I give a name to main window?

It would be better if you had an example, thanks

From the pop-up's point of view, the main page is "opener"

opener.history. go(0);self.clos e();

If you don't want a new history entry for that reload...

if (opener && !opener.closed)
{
opener.location .replace(opener .location.href) ;
self.close();
}
