Slowing down window.opener.location.reload()

[joemorris86]

I was using the following code to close my popup window

<a href="java script:self.close()">Close window</a>

and I wanted it to refresh the parent page when Close window was clicked.I found this example, which works but it automatically closes my popup rather than letting me click on Close window.Does anyone know how I can make this code only close and reload my parent page when I click the close link ?

window.close();if (window.opener && !window.opener.closed) {window.opener.location.reload();}

Thanks guys

Function refresh() {[codes] }

Put the code inside a function!

Do you mean something like this? sorry This is the first javascript I have ever done so Im a bit clueless. This doesn't close my popup.

<script language="JavaScript"><!--function closerel() {	window.close();if (window.opener && !window.opener.closed) {window.opener.location.reload();}//--></script><a href="java script:closerel()">Close window</a>

<script language="JavaScript"><!--function closerel() {if (window.opener && !window.opener.closed) { window.close(); //insertwindow.opener.location.reload();}//--></script><a href="java script:closerel()">Close window</a>

That seems to try and redirect my page to http://mysite.com/java script:closerel()

<a href=" java script:closerel()">close window</a>make sure you remove the space between the word (javascript) marked in red!

You're also missing a closing '}' on your function.
