I have a snippet like this.

if (window.opener != null) {
    window.opener.reload();
}

When called, firebug shows,

TypeError: window.opener.reload is not a function

And Chrome console says,

Uncaught TypeError: Object [object global] has no method 'reload'

What could be wrong?

P.S: typeof window.opener is "object".

reload is a method of the location object, not the window object.

window.opener.location.reload();
