location reload on window close

[alex bazan]

I'm popping a window to a page with a different dns than the parent, and
i want the opener's location reloaded when this window is closed.

With Mozilla it seems that all the opener's methods and properties are
protected because the dns are different. A security exception
(permission denied) is thrown every time i try to exec an
"opener.locatio n.reload()" from the pop up window.

An alternative would be catching the window closing from the opener, but
i don't know how this could be done.

Thanks in advance.

dialogwin=new Object()

function openwindow (url,name,attr) {
dialogwin=windo w.open(url,name ,attr);
checkwindowclos e();
}

function checkwindowclos e () {
if (dialogwin.clos ed) {
location.reload ();
} else {
setTimeout("che ckwindowclose", 500);
}
}

Well, as you said, you can try and detect the closing of the window
from the opener. this function sould do it:

w = open(...) //the variable w points to the new popup window
isClosed()

function isClosed(w)
{
if w.closed()
location.reload ()
else
setTimeout('isC losed(w)', 500)
}
