Let's say that you have just opened a popup, and want to reload the page that opened the popup.

On the popupwindow, put something like:
<a href='javascript:window.opener.location='another_php_file.php'>Reload parent window</a>

My second window is reporting that it is connection is active and the first one i need to refresh the values that are coming from the server. I know i can use a javascript to do that, something like:
echo "<Script language=\"javascript\">
parent.frames['mainFrame'].location.href =\"../php/teste.php\";
</script>";

but this code will refresh the page in my second one browser window. I need to reference the first one window. something like:
echo "<Script language=\"javascript\">
window.firstonewindow.frames['leftFrame'].location.href =\"../html/leftbardev.html\";
</script>";
i know it doesnt work. but i just need to find a way to reference the first window.
Thanks again.

Dim and distant memory time. Think that you can say something like 'parent.href='

There's an example available here:

Yes, i tried that, but my problem is that my first window is not the parent window, thats why i cant just use "parent.href=".

thanks anyway,
