[Javascript] Open page in frame from popup window

[javascript@xxxxxxxxxx (Peter Brunone)]

	Maybe it's just old-school precaution, but not every browser assigns the
opener attribute implicitly.  I didn't know the target audience, and an
extra line or two of code won't make or break a site.

|Or just
|window.opener.top.mainFrame.location.href = "whatever.html";
