I had a bit similar situation and ended up not calling the pop-up from
our server, but using document.write in the script the clients include
on their pages. This way the pop-up can communicate to the opener.
In the included script I have a function to receive the pop-up's window
object, and the pop-up calls that with an interval. If the user browses
to another site and then returns to a page with the receiving function,
the connection is restablished. And to avoid javascript errors while the
user is on another site, I've wrapped the calls from pop-up in a try {}
catch {} block.
