Sound like you need a callback function back to window.opener.

I think you use onClick='window.close()' on submit of form.

I have had some luck using the window.opener reference.  You can have hidden fields on your main page and populate them from the popup like this:

[code]parentField = window.opener.document.forms['myForm'].elements['myField'];
popupField = document.forms['popupForm'].elements['myField'];

parentField.value = popupField.value;

window.close();[/code]

Hope this helps.
