JavaScript - Close Window and Refresh Parent

I've run into this scenario more than once: I have a button or link that spawns a new window, usually a window with some sort of form in it, like a rating or comment. After the user make his or her rating or comment and submits it, I want the new window to close ad the window underneath to refresh to show the new rating or comment. So here's a JavaScript that will close a new window and also refresh the parent window.

The function:

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
 function CloseAndRefresh() 
  {
     opener.location.reload(true);
     self.close();
  }
</script>

You can call the function a couple of ways. You can use a link:

<a href="#" onClick="CloseAndRefresh(); return:false;">Close</a>

Or a button:

< input type="button" value="close" onClick="CloseAndRefresh();"

Or you can make it part of the submit:

<input type="submit" value="submit" onClick="CloseAndRefresh(); return:true;"
