Refreshing Main Window from JS Pop Up

I have a page that allows user to rate vehicles. When the user clicks the vote button, a popup appears allowing them to vote on that vehicle. I want to refresh the main window after the vote has been counted so that the page can reflect the change. Does anyone know what the javascript to do that would be?

Thanks,

Mark

1. name the window when the main page loads
2. then you can refresh that window from the popup.

You want the actual code? I'd have to look it up, but you'd probably have a function so that when x happened in the popup, you'd reload the window named "whatever".

don't forget to include something for the people who turn Javascript off.
since pop ups, pop unders ... more and more people are turning Javascript off these days
