issue with refreshing pages using JavaScript.

[CF FAN]

We have an issue with refreshing pages using JavaScript.
We have got three pages. From page 1, page 2 is opened by window.open and from page 2, page 3 open up by window.open and also closes page 2. Now on submitting page 3, can we refresh page 1 ?
Is there any method to do this using JavaScript ?

i think you just have to pass the reference to the windows ... in win2 you have the refernce to the opener as:

// declare that globally in your win2
var orig_opener = window.opener;
 

now you could use that in win3 with:

var orig_opener = window.opener.orig_opener;
 

now you have the reference to win1 stored in orig_opener.

That's possible. Do it like this.

File a.htm[html]<h1>File A</h1>
<button onclick="window.open('b.htm');">Open B</button>[/html]
File b.htm[html]<h1>File B</h1>
<button onclick="window.open('c.htm');">Open C</button>[/html]
File c.htm[html]<h1>File C</h1>
<script>
var w = window.opener.opener;
window.opener.close();
</script>
<button onclick="w.location.replace('a.htm');">Refresh A</button>[/html]
