refreshing the screen

[mike]

I have a page I use in a pop-up window. The result of the pop-up saves
data to a database.

When the data is finished saving I want to refresh the screen that
opened up the pop_up.

I can open the pop_up from about a number of different pages.

My code at the conclusion of the pop_up looks to see what window it was
opened from so I have some kludgy code that tries to determine that
(actually a cf client variable gets set).
Every time I open the window though from a new page I have to modify
the script to add that new page.

Instead of using something like:
self.opener.location='mypgm.cfm?num=42';

there must be some kind of self.opener.refresh or self.opener.reload
that will just refresh teh page I came from.

For this particular scenario I am just concerned with it working in IE.

Any help is appreciated.

I believe

self.opener.location=self.opener.location;

will do the trick...

Didn't tested with self.opener, but self.opener.location.reload() should do the
trick too :)
