I was considering the onFocus method, I was going to suggest letting the
popup pass a variable to opener. when successfully closed and then
opener.onfocus check this flag and force a submit if not successfully
closed....
But...
What if a user simply Alt-Tabs through their open apps and revisits the
opener when half way through amending their page on popup, it'd release the
activity when half way through editting.
So... You could onfocus of opener check for the existance of the child
window and the status of the flag and make the decision then?

But I don't like the thought of that myself!
