[Javascript] Closing pop-up window on form submit

[javascript@xxxxxxxxxx (Tom Mallard)]

The page which is submitted to can reply to the child and use the onload
event of the body tag to close it, or it can refresh the main page and pass
a value to close the child window...

What's your code that submits, then closes the child window? Sounds like you
close the window before submitting.
