Hello, I’m not sure if I’m asking this in the right forum, so my apologies if this is the wrong place.

I’ve got a small problem: I’m trying to have a ’close’ button in a popup that refreshes the parent page like the QuickEdit popup does, and then close the popup using javascript.
I thought

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

would work, but nothing happens...

Can I not use this code in MODx?

Hi Breezer,
Thanks for your reply! I’ve tried

onClick="window.opener.location.reload(true); window.close();"

as the forum you pointed me to as well, but what happens now is that the homepage loads in the popupwindow.

I’ve placed the following code in the template for the popupwindow:

<a href="#" onClick="window.opener.location.reload(true); window.close();">Close window</a>

When I click this link in the popup window www.myhomepage.nl/# is loaded. Nothing happens to the parent, it isn’t refreshed. The popup also doesn’t close.

I’ve also tried:

<a href="#" onclick="opener.window.location.reload();self.close();return false;">Close</a>

This has the same result.

Strange isn’t it??
