[thelist] JavaScript - closing parent window

>From the popup to the opening window/frame is 'opener'. So assuming the 
popup was opened from the frame inside, simply do

opener.location.href = etc.

If the frame inside is a sibling of the frame that opened the popup:

opener.parent.inside.location.href = etc.

Go to the opener, then proceed as with normal cross-frame scripting.
