Question

Answer 1

+1 A:

The simplest way would be to do

<a href="# " onClick="window.open('newPage.htm','window','width=400,height=200')">link</a>

If I remember correctly that should open the window and then since the return has not been suppresed will reload load the page.

Answer 2

+1 A:

I am not exactly sure if this is what you want based on your wording, but if you want to reload the opening window from a link in the popup try

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

Edit, based on your new comments just use the code above in the body onload of the new window

<body onload="self.opener.location.href = self.opener.location.href;">
