Is there a way to refresh parent page when the Thickbox is closed?

I am using iframe by appending the following to the link URL

&TB_iframe=true&height=500&width=750

Using this iframe, I ensure that the thickbox does not go away until user explicitly clicks on the "close" of thickbox.

After the thickbox is closed by the user, I want the parent page which has the thickbox link to be refreshed.

Thanks for any suggestions/ideas/pointers to how I can get this done.

Please test the new Colorbox module and see it that works better.

The Colorbox plugin has a cbox_closed event hook that should be able to refresh your page. You will need to write some custom JavaScript. See the documentation at http://colorpowered.com/colorbox/.

I have ported all Thickbox features to Colorbox so it should work as a drop in replacement.

When Colorbox has a stable release I will start actively recommend people to switch/upgrade from Thickbox to Colorbox. I'm the maintainer of Thickbox and a co-maintainer of Colorbox.
