Refresh the parent from child action
I'm opening a new window via the target tag of an anchor (target="addMember"). This child is a form that adds a new entry to the listing of the members on the parent page. I'd like to be able to have the parent page automatically refresh itself when the child submits it's form.

Hi,
Why submit from the child if you are going back to opener anyway? Why not simply update the opener with the new data, close the pop up, and then submit from the opener (if necessary)
see this link:

for an example.

Hi,
i did the same thing. But there are issues if you refresh the parent if there is an element and value enter by the user before you open popup, you have to take care of the parent form value before you refresh.
if you want to update parent when the popup submits write the code in popup form like this:
popup.asp
<body onunload = "opener.window.location.re
or you can use this opener.window.location.rel
Hope it will help.

but onunload will fire even if you just refresh the popup or navigate to another page.
