Disguise reload as new post event, without parent dispaying “This page cannot be refreshed without resending information” message

Question

I have a parent site with forms and I have links which open a popup via open.window.

I want to reload the parent site with opener.location.reload() in the Jquery .unload event. This works fine until the user submits the form on the parent site and then closes the popup. I get the usual "This page cannot be refreshed without resending information" message.

I tried to add some GET parameter to the opener.location.href, which had no effect.

Can I somehow simulate a post submit with the opener.location.reload() event, or is there an alternative way to achieve my goal?

Answer 1

Have you tried:

opener.location.href = opener.location.href;

This will do a GET of the opening page, back to itself.
