I have a page with some function buttons.  For one of them, upon click, it opens up a new tab, and this newly opened page/tab has a form, upon data entry and saving, I'd like this tab to close and the parent to be reloaded.

Here's the code:
window.opener.location.href = "parentPage.html?number='#FORM.Number#'"; self.close();

However, the parent page didn't reload and the tab page redirected to parentPage.html?number='#FORM.Number#'

What's wrong?

Alternatively, i'm ok with reload the current tab but close the parent.

Thanks.
