[Javascript] popup window close

[Flavio Gomes]

Everyone is going to tell you:
 Don't use popups...

  But a solution with popups would be for the popupWindow to popup 
pageB.html and then focus itself(popupWindow) back;
  So, from popupWindow you would have reference to all windows
    ==> window.opener = pageA.htm
    ==> window = popupWindow
    ==> windowB = pageB.htm

Hope to help,
