window.opener lost on postback

Hi all

I have a form which pops open from my page. This form asks the user to
enter some values which are then validated on the server. The problem is
that the window.opener seems to be lost after a postback.

In FireFox it works fine, setting a form value of window.opener works, but
in IE it opens a new window.

Can anyone suggest a solution?

I then go back to the main page and have it refresh using: ...

I have a situation where the user clicks on a button in a DataGrid to launch a popup window via javascript. In the popup window the user does some things that result in changes to the underlying database the DataGrid is using as a data source. When the popup window is closed I want to refresh the main window -- i.e., cause a postback to happen. Is this possible?

I did a ton of searching to try and find a simple solution to this issue and finally wrote my own, which I am sharing with everyone. In my searching, I did find a very complete and robust solution at http://weblogs.asp.net/asmith/archive/2003/09/15/27684.aspx but it was far more complex then I needed. (I got lost trying to figure it all out). Therefore, here goes my simple "web dialog box with parent event handler fireing" solution. ...

Through some investigation it appears that selecting "Every visit to the page" for the IE caching setting "Check for new version of stored pages" causes the window.opener property of child windows to be set to null after the main page has excuted a postback. Can anyone explain this or at show that I'm wrong ? Is this a bug in IE ?
