Is it possible to reload a page in a parent window using javascript from a child window?
<p>I have an ASP.Net page with a table. The user can click on a button that opens a child window (using JavaScript), and in that new window, he is able to delete records from a database.  The parent window should update a visible array of dots when he does that because those dots depend on the contents of the database.</p>

<p>So I tried assigning the parent window a name (with window.name="myParent" and then passing that via a query-string to the child window.</p>

<p>The child window would call myParent.location.reload(true) when it was finished with the deletions.  </p>

<p>This does not seem to work unless I am missing some bug.</p>

<p>Should it work?</p>
