How can I refresh a tab from another using Javascript

Question

I\'m looking to achieve something like Wordpress does when you create a new post. It allows you to preview your post by opening a new tab. If, after that, you edit the post

Answer 1

If I remember correctly this is the way to do it:

var win = window.open(url, "foobar");
win.location.reload();

Answer 2
