    Results from child window submit into parent window, then child closes -- How To?

    Hi all...

    I'm writing a Struts application, and one window pops up another,
    non-modal, window.

    What I want to do is, when the user presses a button on the child
    window, I want the parent window to be the target of the server response.
    And I also want the child window to close.

    These windows are not frames, but fully-fledged browser windows.

    Is there a relatively easy way to do this, does anyone know?

      There's your first problem. Solve that, i.e., by not popping up new windows.

      None of this can be accomplished with html, which is the topic of this
      group. If you want to trod the path to hell, you'll have to take the
      comp.lang.javas cript route.

          Sadly, this is a HUGE application that we inherited after the
          stupid company management decided it would be a great idea to
          outsource the whole thing to India. I hope they're learning
          the errors of their ways. This is a project that should have
          been done in Swing, for example, as it is not suited to
          a stateless protocol setup.
