You can call a javascript method in the parent window while closing the child window. This is very simple.

You can have a javascript method to refresh the content of the div

<script language=”javascript” type=”text/javascript”>
function ParentWindowFunction()
{
    alert(‘Need to refresh targetdiv. I am instructed from child window’);
    //refresh the div
    return false;
}
</script>

And in the child window, you may have some button to close that window and also can call up the parent window's javascript

<script language=”javascript” type=”text/javascript”>
function CallParentWindowFunction()
{
    window.opener.ParentWindowFunction();
    return false;
}
</script>

<input type=”button”  name=”btn1″ value=”Call Parent Window Function” onclick=”javascript:return CallParentWindowFunction();”/>

Look after onClosed or Something like that method in your modal documentation , Look into below link , if you using one of jquery plugins for modal it's cleaner to use jquery load() method by searching for Jquery Ajax Update Div

http://api.jquery./load/

http://www.dynamicdrive./dynamicindex17/ajaxcontent.htm

I got a solution for this..firstly i would like to thank everyone above for giving their thoughts.

I just called the onload function of the div with the closemodal function which is being called while closing the modal window. it worked.

The modal window closes as per the ajax response. Onsuccess i called the onload function in the parent form. I will update with the code shortly.!
