Question: Having some troubles getting my parent window to refresh. Any suggestions?

User visits page, clicks on link
<a class="hidden" href="#" onclick="javascript:window.open('https://www.example.com','example','width=330,height=175')">Click Me</a>

Inside the child window, user enters value and then submits form.
<form name="frmExample" method="post" action="/process.asp">
<input type="text" name="boxa" size="34" maxlength="50" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10px">
</form>

On process.asp page, information is processed and then child window should close and parent window should refresh.
<%
'Do Something
Response.Write "<script>window.opener.location.reload();</script>"
Response.Write "<script>window.close()</script>"
%>

Unfortunately, as far as I know, the reference to the child window is destroyed as soon as the page changes from your form submit. If possible, you should close your child window on the onsubmit() of your form, perhaps as an action after your validation script validates. I do not see the need to refresh the parent window... it will just resubmit your data.
