post data on popup then refresh parent window

Hi,

I want to pop a window from my main page using the following JS


From this window i want to pos an array of data to a servlet. in my servlet i will set that array to the session. the variable is located on the main page. AFTER the post from the popup i want to refresh the main page so that variable will show everything in that array on the main page.

how can i do this to make sure the refresh is done after the post from the popup is complete?

TIA john

In the popup window, you can access the parent window which opened the popup window using the window.opener property in JS.

Can you elaborate a bit more on that then? Its not the exact same question because i have change what i wanted to do a bit.

The issue is the same -- use the opener reference to access the opening page. Please continue any further discussion in the original topic.
