I have a dynamically generated page, which shows a repeater control on it
with data. then a link to add a new item, i want the link to open up a
small window which lets you input data (a javascript window.open command to
open inputdata.aspx) then when the user clicks on the add button the data is
added to the sql server, the window closes and the main page it was called
from updates... i have the open the small window part down, its just getting
it to close the little window and have the main page update im haveing
problems with. any ideas? thanks!

I've seen calendar selection windows do this a lot also to add, you open a
small calendar window, and it returns a value to the main window... how does
that work? thanks..
