Help: Refresh parent window by another parent window

[paengski13]

Hi! Just want to ask is it possible to refresh or call a parent window by another parent window?

How can you have two parent windows?

[paengski13]

First parent is the List page.

 

Second parent/New tab is the record I had selected in the First parent (List page).

 

When I update the second parent, the List page should reload.

 

 

Note: Using a child window is not an option based on the specs.

So the first page opens the second - "parent" - window? That would automatically mean the second window is a child of the first. Do you mean you need to use the parent object?

Yes, that's correct

 

Do you mean you need to use the parent object?

I want to reload the 1st parent (the one who called the 2nd parent) using the second parent.

 

But the problem is, since they are both in the difference instance(new tab), Is it possible to reload the 1st parent window using 2nd parent window?

[Adam]

Yeah I get you, your wording's just a little confusing. The second window would be a child of the first, and logically only considered a parent if it had little baby windows of it's own.

 

Anyway, as I mentioned there's the parent object you can use to interact with the parent window. More specifically parent.opener in this case. So to reload the opener window:

 

window.parent.opener.location.reload();
