Hi,

I am trying to figure out how to refresh a parent page after a popup is closed. I am using the following code to redirect a separate module to a popup, from a command button on a GridView.


Dim rowIndex As Integer = CType(e.CommandArgument, Integer)
Dim billingDetailIDValue As Integer = CType(GridView1.DataKeys(rowIndex).Value, Integer)

Dim objTabs As New TabController
Dim objTab As Entities.Tabs.TabInfo = objTabs.GetTabByName("Claim Billing", PortalSettings.PortalId, PortalSettings.AdminTabId)
CustomFunctions.Redirect(NavigateURL(objTab.TabID, "", "pid=" & PortalId.ToString & "&BillingID=" & billingDetailIDValue), "_blank", "menubar=0, width=800, height=800, scrollbars=1")

I am currently using JavaScript to close the popup after an action is performed, but I also want to refresh the initial page, so it shows the changes that were performed in the popup. I did some digging and found that the following should refresh the parent page:

Page.ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(Page.GetType, "CLOSE", " ")

But it is not working, it just refreshes the popup. Any Ideas how I can get this working?

Thanks,

Chris

Hi Cathal,

The code I had pasted did have more code in it, it just got removed probably because I am entering code incorrectly to the text editor here,

It should have the following added into it

window.opener.reload(true);self.close();<../.script..>

I put in your reccomendation

If I do opener.location.refresh();self.close(); then the popup will refresh itself and not close.

If I do self.close();opener.location.refresh(); then the popup will close but the parent page will not refresh.

Any ideas why this might be?
