Trigger JavaScript function from another page

Question

I am trying to trigger a JavaScript function from another page.
I have grid View in page 1 that allows the users to edit the data.
The Edit happens in popup page and if the edit is successful, the popup page will close.
To refresh the grid view with the new/ edited data JavaScript is being used.
MY question is how can i call the JavaScript Function in my page 1 from Popup page

function hide_loading() 
{
   document.getElementById('ContentPlaceHolder1_Button4').click();
}

Sorry for English "mistake"
Thank you

Save your javascript in a separate .js page and load it in using $.getScript("my_script.js",function(){//type your script here}); Voila, you can now use all functions in my_script.js in that function — Jeremy C.

Parent window:

function foo () {
    alert ("Hello!");
}

function openPopup() {
    var wo = window.open("popup.html");
}

Popup window:

function doSomething() {
    window.opener.foo();
}

You can attach a handler to detect the closing of the popup window and in that event handler, place the code to refresh the data on your main page.

For example, on your main page

//open a popup window for editing
var windowReference = window.open('your_edit_window_url');

//attach a handler to know when the popup window is closed
windowReference.onload = function() {
   windowReference.onunload =  function () {
       //refresh your page data here using ajax or just a simple reload
   };
}

This way you are not calling functions of your main window from the popup window. Each window handles its own functionality
