There's a problem with this approach those.  Referencing a parent window, if
the parent becomes unavailable, can result in all kinds of nasty errors if
the parent is closed or enters (this is the especially gnarly case) an https
session as all of the parent window's properties are unavailable.  Just be
aware.
