    How to detect the window close event.

    I have an parent-child window. I need to refresh the parent window when the child window is closed. I had tried
    Code:
    <body onunload="window.opener.location.reload();">
    When i navigate to different page in the child window , each and every time the parent window is refreshed. I want to refresh it only when the child window is closed. How can i do that?

      but when i navigate to different page in the child window , each and every time the parent window is refreshed...... ..
      the unload event just means "if you leave this page", this can be either closing the window or loading a new page, so the behaviour you see is correct (in terms of code).

              Check from the parent window that the child is closed using the 'closed' property.
