I was going to mention also that a child window is able to reference the
opener. I don't know what problems these people you mention have had in the
past, but you can indeed reference the opener very easy - assuming it's
still open.

I prefer a pop-up to your method because at least with a blocker I could
block unscrupulous ads. If they go the whole route of DHTML to constantly
display ads (damn you ESPN - you're no longer the leader in sports, but
rather the leader in annoying ads), then I may just have to disable
JavaScript altogether.
