refreshing parent window when closing child

Is it possible to refresh a parent browser window when a "child"
browser window has been closed using the [X] button in the upper right
corner of the browser?

When I refer to child window, I mean that a link within a "parent"
window has opened a new browser window.

Yes

window.onunload = function() {
opener.location .reload();
}

good luck,

No.

That also fires if the current document is unloaded,
i.e. the user navigates to another document.

Besides, would you please learn how to quote in Usenet?

I have a closed box system which opens an html page. The page closes by the system. I have access to the html page. I added code to open a child window from this page.

For some reason, when I click the X to close my MDI parent form, the action appears to be re-directed to one of the MDI child forms, and the parent remains open. I am then unable to close the application. What should happen, is that the main MDI form should close, taking the child forms with it. There is code to loop through the child forms, remove the controls on each of them, and then close the form, but this code should execute only...
