Trigger remote call on parent from popup.

[travisbrown]

I'm using a little remote call throughout a site. In one instance there is an add/edit popup page. The exit button has a self.close() event. What I want to do is onclick or page unload, before closing, refresh the remote call on the parent page. I don't want to refresh the whole page because there are some transitional state things on the page that would require form submission.

Is there a way to trigger a remote call on the parent page from the popup?

Below is the original call I'm using in the parent page. The target object is 'songlist'

i'm thinking it might be a matter of passing in a more specific target description? Somethign specifying 'opener'?

function sndReq(page,insert) {
    http.open( 'get', page );
    http.onreadystatechange = function(){
		 if ( http.readyState == 4 ) {
        var response = http.responseText;
        document.getElementById(insert).innerHTML = response;
		}	
	};
    http.send(null);
}

I was thinking something like this:

function sndParentReq(page,insert) {
    http.open( 'get', page );
    http.onreadystatechange = function(){
		 if ( http.readyState == 4 ) {
        var response = http.responseText;
        opener.document.getElementById(insert).innerHTML = response;
		}	
	};
    http.send(null);

Wait, it is working. Cached thing maybe. Nevermind.
