window.opener problem

[kurtmo5]

I am trying to update the parent window by closing the child window. It gives me a permission denied error when the button is clicked.


<script>
window.opener.location.reload();
window.opener.focus();
</script>

try removing:
window.opener.focus();

since the child is closed the focus will automatically go to parent window...

An explanation for this is probably that when you

window.opener.location.reload();

...the connection between parent and child is broken. That is why focus cannot be sent.

However, focus will not automatically drop to the parent window if you close the child window if you clicked on some other window since the last time you clicked on the parent window.

If you want to make sure focus goes back, put the focus() command in first, then reload. Even though the focus is sent, the JavaScript will (should) run.

Hope that's helpful.

window.opener.refresh();

i use that instead of reload, gets the same job done in this instance and doesn't break the relationship
