JavaScript function is not working

Question

I have this line in a button click method on my aspx.cs file

ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(this.GetType(), 
                                   "RefreshOpener", 
                                   "RefreshParent()", 
                                    true);

I have this code on aspx file

function RefreshParent() {              
                   window.opener.location.href = window.opener.location.href;

        }

When I debug th code, it comes to this line ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(this.GetType(), "RefreshOpener", "RefreshParent()", true); but does not go to aspx file to run the JS code.

The most frustrating part is I have used the same things on some other pages with the same methods and they worked but this time it is not.

This is the button mentioned

<asp:ImageButton ID="Button_KAYDET" 
                 runat="server" 
                 CausesValidation="False"
                 ImageUrl="~/images/butonlar/kucuk/kaydet.jpg"
                 OnClick="Button_KAYDET_Click"
                 meta:resourcekey="Button_KAYDETResource1" />

Any ideas?

Maybe this is too obvious, but don't you need a semicolon after the function call? "RefreshParent();" instead of just "RefreshParent()". — smelch, Jun 01 '11 at 13:08
Well, @Smelch I tried that too, I am trying to figure out the problem for hours.As I alos mentioned in the question I used same methods, same sentences, same calls, on other pages and they are working perfectly but thanks for the idea. — Bastardo, Jun 01 '11 at 13:11
So this is in a popup and you are trying to refresh the parent page? — Bala R, Jun 01 '11 at 13:22
Yes, Mr.R and yes I tried many things :).It seems like ScriptManager is what I needed in this situation.@Bala R — Bastardo, Jun 01 '11 at 13:26

If the button is placed inside of an UpdatePanel then you'll need to use the ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript method (MSDN Link).

Your code should look like:

ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(this, this.GetType(), "RefreshOpener","RefreshParent()", true);

`RefreshParent()` should be a string. – Town Jun 01 '11 at 13:27
Thanks Alison. I did that a couple minutes ago when 1nstein suggested, and it s working thank you so much for your interest.However, in the other pages I mentioned and those having the same methods and working the same button is placed inside an UpdatePanel, too.And I had no problem with them.I do not understand why I had problem with this one. – Bastardo Jun 01 '11 at 13:30

Onestein we should hang out :D that is my answer "then use the ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript method instead of the ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript " – Bastardo Jun 01 '11 at 13:25
But I still don't understand the difference, that Button_KAYDET is in an UpdatePanel on the pages these same methods are working, too. And they are ok, but this one is not. – Bastardo Jun 01 '11 at 13:29
This looks strange as an accepted answer! @1stein, can you edit your answer to actually include the answer? :) – Town Jun 01 '11 at 13:30
