I have a DB app that I want to have refresh the opening page, IE I add a Name to a list and the page the list of people is on refreshes to show the change. I am using this in the page where you add names
Code:
<script langauge=&quot;javascript&quot;>
setTimeOut('window.opener.location.href = window.opener.location.href, 8000)
</script>
The delay it to make sure it's in the DB beofre the page refreshes.
Now get this, this moring it was working, now not so good. Is there a better way to relaod the url of the opening page?
 
what is the problem? i did notice one error though:
setTimeOut('window.opener.location.href = window.opener.location.href', 8000)
