hi frnds,
in the parent page i have a button and if i click, it opens a child pop-up window by the code behind javascript. In the child pop-up window i have binded a gridview in which has a link button in one of the columns and if i click the linkbutton i get a row value which pass to the parent page and shows some values in gridview. everything is fine so far.

The only problem is after i click link button in pop-up window it has to close and value should pass to parent page and parent page should get refresh. i dont have any buttons like submit or cancel for writing javascript for pop-up window close or parent page refresh and both the parent page and pop-up window has gridview. so if i write javascript in the pop-up window the parent page gets opening which is wrong. so, all i want is to close pop-up window when i click the link button in pop-up window and parent page should get refresh.
can anyone help me out guys, plzease?

If you have opened the popup with JavaScript you can communicate with the parent by using Window.opener[^]

JavaScript

function linkClicked()
{
  // Refresh the parent
  window.opener.location.href = window.opener.location.href;
  // Close the popup
  window.close();
}
