• Heres a small piece of code to force refresh the parent window from the child window after closing the child window, without having to press the refresh button.

window.opener.location=window.opener.location; window.close();

response.write the above JS code in the child window.

for example:

response.write(”<Script> window.opener...........close();" & Chr(60) & "/script >")

• If you want the user to manually refresh the page after closing the child window use

  window.opener.location.reload();window.close();

  in the above example.

• If you just want to close the child window ( as in “cancel”) use window.close(); in the above example.
