There are several ways but one simple way could be

JavaScript

function closeandrefresh(){
  opener.location.href = opener.location.href;
  window.close(); 
}

And update your link as

<a href="#" onclick="closeandrefresh();" class="Content">Close Window</a>

Good answer, much simpler than mine. I hadn't thought about using the opener variable. Would suggest you tell the user how to attach this method to the closed event as most user's prefer to click the red X button on popup windows rather than Close links. I would also question how reliable this is in all browsers though? Namely IE never seems to conform. Would advise OP to check all javascript (inc. this) for cross-browser compatibility and also say that Chrome and Firefox are best to develop on as they are the most standards compliant. My 5+, Ed :)

You can use a recursive function in the parent window to wait for the popup to close. E.g.

HTML

<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">

JavaScript

var generator = null;
function show_prompt()
{
    //Open a popup and store the handler in a var named generator
    generator = window.open("", "New Popup", "width=400, height=400");
    //Add some html to the new window
    generator.document.write("<html><head><title>Test</title></head><body>");
    generator.document.write("<p><a href=\"javascript:self.close()\"> Close</a></p>");
    generator.document.write("</body></html>");
    generator.document.close();
    generator.focus();
    
    //The crucial line! Start the recursive function that will poll the new popup window until it's closed. 
    WaitForClose();
}
function WaitForClose()
{
    //Check to see if the popup has been closed
    if(!generator.closed)
    {
        //If not, recall this function - the recursion
        setTimeout("WaitForClose()", 500);
    }
    else
    {
        //If popup has been closed, call the PopupClosed funtion
        PopupClosed();
    }
}
function PopupClosed()
{
    //Do something here!
    alert("x");
}

HTML

</script>
</head>
<body>
<input type="button" onclick="show_prompt()" value="Show prompt box" />
</body>
</html>

Hope this helps,

Ed :)

JavaScript

function refreshParent() {
  window.opener.location.href = window.opener.location.href;
  if (window.opener.progressWindow)
 {
    window.opener.progressWindow.close()
  }
  window.close();
}
