Bubble events via browser windows

Hi, hoping you guys can help me.
I'm familiar with bubbling events from a user control up to the page (parent) that the control resides on.

In this case - I have a page that opens a new window using :
btnBeginSurvey.Attributes.Add("onclick", "SurveyPopUp=window.open('survey.aspx', 'SurveyPopUp'); SurveyPopUp.focus()")

When the user finishes the survey, I want to close the child window and bubble an event up to the parent browser window telling it to refresh.

Can anyone please help me at all ?

Any help at all is gratefully received !

Thanks,
Scott

Well, it's not exactly "bubbling", but this should work - in your child window, whenever the survey is finished you can do something like:

<script type="text/javascript">
    function closeAndRefreshParent() {
        window.opener.location = window.opener.location;
    }
</script>
<input type="button" onclick="closeAndRefreshParent();" value="Close & Refresh" />

Or you can have a function in the parent window, and call it from popup whenever you want:

In the parent window:

function doSomething() {
 ....
}

And call it from the popup:

window.opener.doSomething();

You can also look at this article, doing almost something similar: Partial update of parent page via AJAX (ASP.NET 2.0) on close of a child window - conditionally[^]
