Re: Reloading a specific window

This does not work, when I replace my header function with: elseif (isset($_POST['btnSave'])) { .. database update, then... $ostr = <<< OUTPUT; <script language="javascript"> document.window.opener.reload() self.parent.close(); </script> OUTPUT; echo $ostr; //header("Location: ".$_POST['CallingScript']."?ID=".$_POST['ID']); exit; } several things happen: the database update does not happen, the mainwindow does not reload, and my form disappears from the popup frame and this frame is blank. I am probably doing something very stupid.
