window.opener

I have a parent window from where I am opening a pop-up window using window.open() and I am monitoring the return of that pop-up window using the window.opener method. I have two queries here: On my pop-up window, there is a submit button that takes care of the submit functionality of the form and I would like to wait for the submit to complete and close this pop-up window on submission. When the form is submitted and the pop-up window is closed, I am fetching one of the text box values and using that in my parent window to simulate a search automatically as soon as the pop-up window is closed

I have been researching this problem and while there's lots of posts on various forums about similar problems, none of the problems or solutions exactly match mine. I have an application that has been successfully using the function below to redirect back to the parent window once finished with a popup. Recently I have been investigating compatibility with other browsers (to allow the system to be used via iPad) and have found that there is a problem with this function when using Safari or Chrome. The parent page is a summary of some databased info, and the user clicks a link to open a window

I have looked for awhile and cannot find an answer that fits my needs. I have a page that pops a window (window.open), logs the user in (creates a cookie, set session) then redirects to another page. While the modal is redirecting, I would like to refresh the parent page, so all the good stuff that I just did will be recognized by the parent. I have tried window.opener and stuff like that. Can someone help me out a little? Thanks window.opener in the popup will refer to the window object of the opening window, so of course you should be able to call window.opener.location.reload(); .
