It depends on the weight of the font you use whether it is too heavy for JS! Seriously, personally I hate the way pop up windows are used 99 44/100% of the time. Having said that try the following: In page2's onload function do opener.window.location.reload() But you haven't explained why you want page1 to reload.

I want to click a link on page1 this opens a page2 in a new window (with focus) and when this new window (page2) is loaded, I want it to reload page1 (without page1 getting the focus) so when the user closes the window with page2 in it, he will see the already reloaded page1 !!! non-JS.Browsers should only open page2 in a new window (without doing the reload of page1) Is this possible? or is this too heavy for JS??? thanks for any hints!!!
