[Javascript] pop ups

Andrew,

AFAIK there is no 'onclose' event so if the user Xs the window there is
little to be done.
OTOH if there was a button/link to a function with window.close() to
close the window, then, prior to that line you could try something like:

window.opener.top.location=window.opener.top.location;

... which I personally prefer to using methods such as reload()

Snag with that would be if the location contained a query string
reflecting the previous state of the query, and that query string was
made out of date by the change just made. But not having the detail on
that I'll not comment further.
