Close pop-up and postback

[Mardy]

Hello

I'm trying to use a pop-up to capture some information and then return the
user to a datagrid containing the changes made in the pop-up.

I have the database update working and the pop-up opens and closes correctly
but I need to find a way to cause the datagrid to refresh once the pop up
closes. How can I force a postback once the pop-up closes?

Thank you

You will need to get the handle of the Parent Window and call
Forms[0].Submit(); from the popup.

I think the syntax is
self.opener.window.document.forms[0].submit();

I saw another source with similar advice but am having trouble with it
I have the following code in a sub in the codebehind of my pop up window.

Dim strUpdate As String = "<script language='Javascript'>Update
=self.opener.window.document.forms(0).submit();</script>"
Page.RegisterClientScriptBlock("Update", strUpdate)

I don't get any errors but the original page doesn't update either

It could be few different reasons for it to not working

self.opener.window.document.forms(0).submit() will work only if you are
opening the pop up with winodw.open command. if it is a ModalDialog
,self.opener will be null..

If you have any Frames/Iframes in Parent window , opener.window.document
will rfer to the document in the frame.. you may need the reference to the
document with form in it.

To test if reference is correct , try placing a simple HTML Button in the
popup and call this self.opener.window.document.forms(0).submit() onclick of
it.

I am using window.open
no frames
I stumbled across this change and it does the job...I added this to
window.close script.

+"opener.location='parentPage.aspx';self.close( )

By reloading the page I get what I need.

The button test did not work.

Thanks
