    You're right, this isn't a Perl question. I'm not a JavaScript genius, but you might consider using the other window's onUnload event to trigger your logic in the first window. I'm not sure you can easily write "wait until this other window is closed" in JavaScript, but you can write "when I close, call this function in this other window," provided you're in the same security context.

      Thanks that was my original idea, but I thought with a little effort I could save myself the duplication of code from the calling page. I may be stuck with that response (although I have found showModalWindow for IE and a whole bunch of ugly code for Netscape). Thanks

    You might want to try JavaJunkies. They are a java site modeled after this one.

    They are not javascript oriented, but it would probably be more appropriate (and you might get more response) from that site.
