I have a use case to add a custom button on account detail page, on click of which a VF page opens up in which i will input value say salary and that will update the account record. Now what i want is that on saving the salary in my VF page i want to refresh the parent(i.e. the account record detail page) and then close the child.
I have tried all the option that was given in many related Q&A but nothing worked for me.
Did anybody faced this issue..
P.S. when i am doing this from one VF page to another VF page than the parent is getting refreshed, i suppose there is some problem with standard detail page where i have the button.

In your VF page, you just need to add a bit of javascript in the oncomplete of your commandbutton
Your button
JS method
This is assuming you used a param to pass the accountID to the VF page.
