Refresh Parent page on close of pop up window

Question

I have a Parent page in which, I have added a search functionality.

like below

function FunClick(StrPriCaption) {
        var StrPriHTML = "";
        if (StrPriCaption == 'AdvSearch') {
            //document.getElementById('TxtCondition').value = "AdvSearch";
            //form1.submit();
            var StrPriReturnValue = "";
            window.open('FrmInwardHdrAdvanceSearch.aspx', null, 'height=370,width=630,top=0,left=0,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes');

        }
 }

And it works perfectly. It opens a pop up window page for me to search for.

But now what I want is, IF I close the pop up,I want to refresh the parent page.

I tried with below code in Child page, but it didn't refreshed the parent page.

 function CloseWindow() {
    window.close();
    window.opener.location.reload();
 }

How can I do this using Javascript?

Answer 1

Method 1

<script>
function popup() {
    var win = window.open("", "Page Title", "toolbar=no, location=no");
    win.document.body.innerHTML = '<a href="#" onclick="window.opener.location.reload();window.close();">Close Me</a>';
}
</script>
<a href="#" onclick="popup()">Open Me</a>

It creates a popup with a link to close the window and refresh parent.

Method 2

<script>
function popup() {
    var win = window.open("", "Page Title", "toolbar=no, location=no");
    var win_timer = setInterval(function() {   
      if(win.closed) {
          window.location.reload();
          clearInterval(win_timer);
      } 
      }, 100); 
}
</script>
<a href="#" onclick="popup()">Open Me</a>

It detects from the parent window if child is closed. If true, it reloads the page.

EDIT When using method 1, make your parent to open the popup you want and just add this in your child:

<a href="#" onclick="window.opener.location.reload();window.close();">Close Me</a>
