refresh main from another window not opened by main
ok heres a toughy (at least for me)
ok from the main window i have a script that opens another window (window2) and then window2 does a few things and when it closes, it opens window3 (i know this sounds annoying but it is necesary, and it is on an intranet anyway so if they get annoyed, oh well)
my question is, how can i refresh the main window from window3. i can't use "opener.location.reload()" because the main window didnt open window3, window2 did.
any body have any suggestions???
i have also tried
main.location.reload()
that didn't work either
Give me what I want, and I'll go away!

When you load the document itself, name the window in the JavaScript...
window.name = "currentWindow";
Then you can control it by name.
