Enabling a control in a different browser window.

[Guest]

I open a popup and allow the user to save some information to a database and
then close the popup. How do I then use the fact that they saved this
information and closed the popup to enable a button in the main browser
window (from which the popup was opened)?

I've not tried this, but can you use the window.opener property of the child
to get the parent, and from there get at the parent's controls (to enable a
button, set a flag, force refresh, etc.)?

You can use window.opener to access parent window, from which you can access
the controls in that window and disable it. Similar approach is used in this
