I have a parent window under http and it opens a child popup window under https. I wanted to reload the parent from pop-up window using following Java Script.
<script language="JavaScript">
function refreshParent() {
window.opener.location.reload();
window.close();
}
I found that this is not possible due to cross-domain scripting restrictions and HTTP->HTTPS is considered cross domain.
After searching in internet, i found the workaround for cross domain problem using following script,
<script language="JavaScript">
function refreshParent() {
window.opener.location.href = 'index.html';
windoww.close()
}
Above solution works well with Chrome. But in IE, instead of reload the url in the parent window, it opens in an new tab. I dont want it to open in new tab.
Please help me on this. Any alternative suggestions to achieving this would also be appreciated.
