close child loses parent focus

[mhamilton3]

Hello,
I have been battling with a problem now that I can not solve. I have a window named "dick". "dick" has a link on it that pops up an additional window named "jane".

If "jane" submits back to "bob", all is well (which in effect refreshed "dick"). If I simply use the x to close "jane", "dick" no longer understands who he is. So when I click on a different link that is supposed to stay in the same window, it creates a new window. How can "jane" submit back to "dick" when they close with the x. I tried onUnload, but I'm guessing since it unloaded there is no form to submit from. Even if I can not submit, I would settle for setting focus, but I can not get that to work either. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

With the window handle, you can query the closed property.
