Yes, but it is the same window, and it's the window that cares. At
least, in theory. :)

And it's reload, not refresh.

Give it a shot.

self.opener.doc ument.reload(tr ue);

reload is a location method, not a document method.
And what the original poster needs, I am pretty sure he does not need to
reload the opener.

Re: How do I refresh target window?

Nop Not Working....

My code is (for the reference...)

On teh parent:

function newwindow(url) {

newwindow2=wind ow.open('','Cal lMePopUp','stat us=no,scrollbar s=yes');
var tmp = newwindow2.docu ment;
tmp.write('<htm l><head><title> </title>');
tmp.write('</head><body><for m name="formName" method="post"
action="calc.ph p">');
tmp.write('<inp ut type="hidden" name="prodh" value="bred">') ;
tmp.write('</form>');
tmp.write('</body></html>');
tmp.close();

tmp.formName.su bmit();

}

On the chiled:

function exit ()
{
//opener.document .form['new_entry'].submit();
self.opener.doc ument.reload(tr ue);
close ();
}

The quoted is the one I used before...

I think that will be a bit nicer as:

tmp.document.wr ite(
'<html><head><t itle></title>'
+ '</head><body><for m name="formName" '
+ 'method="post"> action="calc.ph p">'
+ '<input type="hidden" name="prodh" value="bred">'
+ '</form>'
+ '</body></html>'
);
tmp.document.cl ose();

tmp.document.fo rms['formName'].submit();

That means that the form new_entry doesn't exist as far as the function
is concerned (it may actually be in the page).

Try the following:

<html><head><ti tle>Child play</title>
</head><body>

<script type="text/javascript">

function newWin(url) {
newWin2=window. open('','CallMe PopUp','');
var tmp = newWin2.documen t;
tmp.write(
'<html><head><t itle></title>',
'</head><body><for m name="formName" action="">',
'<input type="text" name="prodh" value="bred">',
'<input type="submit">' ,
'</form>',
'<input type="button" value="Submit parent form" onclick="',
' window.opener.d ocument.forms[\'new_entry\'].submit();',
'window.close() ;',
'">',
'</body></html>'
);
tmp.close();
}

</script>
<input type="button" value="Open child" onclick="newWin ();">
<form name="new_entry " action="">
<input type="text" name="blah" value="afasdf">
<input type="submit">
</form>

</body></html>
