If i opened a window with, window.showModalDialog, how can I tell what the name of the window is that opened the Dialog box and how do I reload the opening page with a new page, close the dialog and show the new opening page.<br />
<br />
For example if I opened with window.open I could use window.opener.location.hre<wbr />f; so in the same manner is there a way to reset the opening page if the page was opened with window.showModalDialog.<br />
<br />
I have scanned the web, and so far I found that after the call to the window.showModalDialog I can add the following line of code to force the refresh of the page. &nbsp;This is not exactly what I asked for, but at the top of the page<br />
I can then redirect to the page I want. &nbsp;The showModaldialog does not allow refresh of parent page until the Dialog box is closed. &nbsp;<br />
window.location = window.location;<br />
<br />
Let me know if you have any comments on it. &nbsp;<br />

JavaScript is a dynamic, object-based language commonly used for client-side scripting in web browsers. Recently, server side JavaScript frameworks have also emerged. JavaScript runs on nearly every operating system and  in almost every mainstream web browser.
