closing a popup when the parent closes.
When you open the window using window.open, it returns a "handle"
var xxx = window.open()
onBeforeUnload of your main window call
if (xxx.open)
xxx.close()
this will close the popup.
Just make sure that you retain the xxx value and don't loose it when
reloading frames.
You could put it in the main frames code (Parent)
