<div>
I'm confused.<br />
<br />
Do you WANT the parent to refresh, or is it a side-effect you DON'T want?<br />
<br />
if the text is submitted to the wrong window, try something like using a target=&quot;_self_ in your form or &lt;base target=&quot;_self&quot;/&gt; in your heading...<br />
<br />
B more specific please...<br />

Hi, all<br />
<br />
I am creating a web page. When I click on a button on the page, a new window opens. I use &quot;window.showModelessDialog<wbr />&quot; to do it. When I enter some text on the new window and submit, the parent window will refresh. Could you please tell me how to do it and give some sample codes? Thanks.
