How to reload the opener window document from popU

Anon

I use a Popup window to let the users add information. After the form is submitted, I need to close the popup window, and the refresh the opener window to display to updated information. How can I do that? Thanks.

This is a javascript question, not a php one. Read the js manual at netscape.

I think you might be able to use:

<A HREF="#" onClick="opener.reload(); self.close();">Text Link</A> on a close link.

This is untested but it might get you started.

Thank you for your comment. I have tried this before. But it didn't solve my problem. I want the opener has a real reload, but each time the page is cached, which only has old information, not the most updated one that I want to see. I also tried the following code cited on the manual:

header ("Expires: Mon, 26 Jul 1997 05:00:00 GMT"); // Date in the past
header ("Last-Modified: " . gmdate("D, d M Y H:i:s") . " GMT");
// always modified
header ("Cache-Control: no-cache, must-revalidate"); // HTTP/1.1
header ("Pragma: no-cache");

but it still didn't work. Any idea?

That\'s preety weird because I normally use:

header (\"Cache-Control: no-cache, must-revalidate\"); // HTTP/1.1
header (\"Pragma: no-cache\");

and it seems to work fine.

Maybe someone else could shed some light.

the JScript for reloading is:
window.location.reload()

Just (I think) follow Jord with his first comment. Use this to reload.

Anon

Yeah, but this does not reload the "parent" window!

In PopUp window, after data success to insert or update into DB.
add this script in below.
then the PopUp window will be closed, and the opener will be reload to get the new information.
