Can a Javascript Window refresh normal parent

[zzapper]

Hi,
I use a JavaScript window to access a library of songs when the user
picks one this is written to the users database record (PHP/MySQL).
When the use closes the JavaScript window he returns to the original
browser window.
Unfortunately unless he manually refreshes this window he cannot see
that he has succeeded in selecting a song.

Any ideas how I can force the refresh from the Javascript window, or
any other work-around?

Whoops just googled this

<input type="button" value="Reload"
onclick="parent .location='java script:location .reload()'"
alt="refresh"</form>

Have tried this, but didn't work for me in IE

What about onClick="parent .location.reloa d();"
?

Why not?

Check the JavaScript error console for details.
In Firefox: Tools-Error Console
What does it say?

Of course.
I told you to try 'parent' which of course should have been 'opener'.
My bad.
Sorry for the confusion. :-/
