I did come up with a perl-only solution, albeit not so efficient or effective; in fact, it's probably not something you want to use, but...you could throw in a refresh on the parent window which would correspond to some script that is clicked on in the child window...of course, the real solution is jscript and with html, this is impossible (as if either are "standards")...
