How can I show alert in parent window from child popup window in javascript?

I need to show an alert in the parent window and then refresh it when closing the child window. I tried:

window.onunload = refreshParent;
        function refreshParent() {
                        window.opener.focus();
                        window.opener.alert('Testing');
                        window.opener.location.reload();
        }

This does show the alert in the parent, but I guess because the child is within the parent, the child window js freezes till I hit ok in the parent window. I can live with that, but the problem is, the parent window doesn't seem to get the focus when I show the alert, so the alert ends up being hidden behind the popup window. Any advice guys?

try this code

    <!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<script>
function openWin()
{
myWindow=window.open('','','width=200,height=100');
myWindow.document.write("<p>This is 'myWindow'</p>");
refreshParent();
}

        function refreshParent() {

                        window.parent.focus();
                        window.parent.alert("message");
                        window.parent.location.reload();
        }
</script>
</head>
<body>
<input type="button" value="Open 'myWindow'" onclick="openWin()" />
</body>
</html>
