simple 'onclick' question

refresh parent window

[salo]

alright im stuck, i think i should know this...

in my main window i have a button that opens a smaller window with some form > input text to edit. but basically i want to have a button on the smaller window that will refresh the parent window as well.

it basically looks like:

<form>
<p>Data Entry Operator:
<input type="hidden" name="operator" value="<?php echo $operator;?>" />
<br />
Address:
<input type="text" name="operator_address" value="<?php echo $operator_address;?>" onKeyUp="highlight(event)" onClick="highlight(event)" />
<br />
Phone: (
<input type="text" name="operator_areacode" size="3" maxlength="3" value="<?php echo $operator_areacode;?>" onKeyUp="highlight(event)" onClick="highlight(event)" />
)
<input name="operator_switch" type="text" size="3" maxlength="3" value="<?php echo $operator_switch;?>" onKeyUp="highlight(event)" onClick="highlight(event)" />
-
<input name="operator_extension" type="text" size="4" maxlength="4" value="<?php echo $operator_extension;?>" onKeyUp="highlight(event)" onClick="highlight(event)" />
</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Save and Close">
<input type="button" value="Cancel" onClick="window.close()">
</p>
</form>

any help?

I think if you have opened up the smaller window with window.open then you will want to use the window.opener object in your Save and Close routine.
Either window.opener.location='URL' or window.opener.FORMNAME.submit (not sure about the submit one).
