Automatically refreshing parent window

12-08-2003

Is it possible to (via Javascript) refresh a parent page from a child page.
I have an app that displays a list of items that the user has authority to
change. If the user selects one of the items, another window is opened
containing the details of the item. If the user changes any of the details
of the item I'd like to refresh the original (list) page.
Thanks in advance.

if (opener
&& !opener.closed
&& opener.location
&& (typeof opener.location.refresh == "function"
|| typeof opener.location.refresh == "object"))
opener.location.reload();
