I have Window A that opens Window B that opens Window C. When Window C closes, I want it to refresh Window B. In Window C I have this:

JavaScript

<body   onunload="opener.location.href = opener.location.href;">

This refreshes Window B on my localhost. If I use the same thing on our developement webserver, it doesn't work. I get Permission Denied Error. I am guessing that it doesn't work because Window B is on a different domain then Window A and Window B. On my localhost all of the windows were local. Is tehre a way to get this to work?

Solution 1

certain actions are blocked in cross domain. One way to overcome this is to write a function in your B then call it from C

function reload()
{
  //force refresh  
}

Then call that function

<body   onunload="opener.reload();">

I tried this and it doesn't work. :( I even tried this:
<body önunload="opener.location.href = 'url of Window B';">
it works on localhost opening window from another domain. But it doesn't work from domain1 to domain2.
