You could do something like:
<body onLoad="opener.location.href = [result location URL];self.close();">
in the result page sent to the pop-up.  This would only work, of course, if
you can just get the href, and not the entire header (leaving off the
"Location:" chunk).

Hi folks,

This isn't so much a problem with PHP, but I hope someone can help out
with some JavaScript issues I'm having.

With IE6 (this app only needs to support IE6) I have Window 1 (main
browser window) and Window 2 (popup).  The user enters some information
into the popup and submits the form, which PHP then processes and sends
a header('Location: http://somewhere/whatever'); back to the popup.

The problem is, I need to get the parent window (Window 1) to be
redirected, while the popup (Window 2) closes.  Any ideas on how to
either:

1) Have the popup send it's new location (from the PHP form processor)
back to it's parent.

2) Or, have the parent see where the popup would be redirected to, and
redirect itself?

3) Or something else.

I've looked at MS's JScript and DOM/etc pages, but I don't see anything
useful.  If this isn't possible (I suppose it could be a security
problem) I'll have to figure some other way of doing it.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated, as I'm about to go back to
text-based browsers :)

Thanks,

H
