    Hello,

    In my first window i am opening a new pop up window and i am uploading the image and then i am closing the window using window.close , Now what i want is my first page should automatically get refresh when my pop up window get close.

    Can anybody help me with it?

    I have seen this feature in www.naukri.com , here when i click on edit profile , new page gets open and after upldating the profile new page gets close and old page gets reloaded.

    Thanks in advanced.

    You can use the opener object to reference the page that opened the current one and call a method on it.

    For example:

    From popup window:

    opener.Refresh();

    You could add a Refresh method to your parent page and then you could call it when the pop window is closing.
    There might be a more elegant way as I am not a Javascript expert but this would probably work.

    PS. Just in case you didn't know you can reload a page by calling location.reload(true) to for a reload of the current page from the server.
