Iframe close on submit data and refresh parent

I have an Iframe which contains a form. After the user clicks on the submits button, the data should go to the database [i have done this] and the iframe should close automatically and refresh the parent page.

Is there any way I can do this on server side?

The problem wiht the following code is that the user has to double click in order for the form to close. Also, the parent page doesnt refresh.

Protected Sub submit_btn_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.ImageClickEventArgs) Handles submit_btn.Click
               //database queries.
 
                submit_btn.Attributes.Add("OnClick", "javascript:closeiframe();return false;")
    End Sub

ok i added this in form tag and it worked:
<form id="form1" runat="server" onsubmit="parent.location.reload();">

the only problem it's showing is that if the form is not yet filled then the page reloads with the new data in the dropdown without any hitches....but if there's data on the parent page, then on refresh, either the data stays intact but the new data does not get inserted in the dropdown OR the data disappears.

any idea why this is happening? and solution?

thanks for all your help. appreciated. :)
