I create a link with window.open, in new opened window i add a button for close window. I want when my window is close then parent window will refresh, so i use this script :

window.opener.location.href="/"; window.close();

In my application parent window use secure server like as but child window not use secure server.

This is working in ff and but in IE 8 it's not working. Why is IE8 opening a new window instead of just refreshing the existing one?

Please give your suggestion.

Thanks

Try following code:

window.opener.location = self;
window.opener.location.reload();
window.close();

It works great in my IE v8.0
