Reload parent page after closing popup window
To reload a page, you can set the location property as the current value, like this:
window.location = window.location;
So for your case, you would use, literally:
onunload="window.opener.location = window.opener.location;"
You can also use the reload method of the location object:
onunload="window.opener.location.reload();"
This is the preferred method.
Also, please refer to the accepted answer for your previous question: Refreshing Parent window after closing popup

I am trying to have the user sign in through a popup window. When they click the link to the popup window which is a php variable they can sign in. When the window closes I want it to reload the page they were originally on (the parent page).
Here is the code on the signin.php page...
<body onunload="opener.location=('')">But all this does is make the sign in page become the page the user was on. I think I need to put something in the parentheses, but I can't figure out what goes there.
