i have a child pop up that refreshes the parent window. i use the opener.location.reload() method on the child popup page.

is it possible to pass a url variable through the opener.location.reload() to the parent window?

Not really, but you can set a variable in the main window from the child window:

opener.varibalename=somevalue

or, grab the variable from the childwindow:

if(childwindow&&!childwindow.closed)
variablename = childwindow.somevalue jared@eae.net -
