Oh I see what you mean.
Hmmm, never tried that before. Something you might try is putting a
hidden form on the "opener", then setting the values with javascript in
the child, and finally submit and close the child window.
This would be in the parent window:
<form name="blah" action="whatever.cfm" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="foo" value="">
</form>
Then in the child window, you would put:
function submitForm(){
opener.document.blah.foo.value = "somevalue";
opener.document.blah.submit();
window.close()
}

Correct so what would I use to submit the form to the "opener" and then
close the child?
