window.opener.refresh() isn't supported

I have a webpage on one server that fires a popup child window with a page located on another server.

If I use window.opener.refresh() on the child window, I get the object isn't supported.

If I use window.opener.reload(), I get permission denied error.

Is there a way to refresh the opener when a user is paging through the child window and hits a particular page?

 
If the problem is that you're operating across servers, then I am not sure what to do, but if that's not it, then consider trying:

opener.location = opener.location.href;

This is usually how I go about refreshing a page.

'hope that helps.

That still gives me a permission error. Must be the differnet servers causing the issue. Any other ideas?
