[thelist] refesh parent window with javascript....

[darren]

afternoon all....

i'm trying to get a popup window to refresh the parent window on
closing.  it works in mozilla, but not ie6!  anyone know why??

i'm using the following js function to open the window:

   var openWin;

   function winOpen(href, target, width, height) {
      if (openWin && !openWin.closed) {
         openWin.close();
      }
      openWin = window.open(href, target, 'width=' + width + ',height=' + height);
   }

called from a link like:

   <a href="popup.aspx" target="detail" onclick="winOpen(this.href, this.target, 650, 300); return false;">detail</a>

then in popup.aspx i have a function that's called after everything's
done:

   function cancelPay() {
      opener.location.reload(true);
      window.close();
   }

in ie i get an 'opener.location is null or not an object' type error.

anyone any ideas??

cheers,

darren.
