help: How to auto close pop up when finished.

[camarosource]

We want to have it so when a HTML form is submitted (a person is uploading a picture) that a Javascript will open a pop up window and then automatically close the window once the file is sent sucessfully.

See, we use like it's w = window.open(blah blah to open and w.close() to close but when the form is submitted w gets destroyed, so we need a way to close it without w or pass w to the next page or need a way for the popup to check when form is done submitting so it can close itself

Does anyone know a good way to do this?

Thanks

I think a beter(to me) optionwill be generate a counter in the parent window using set timeout and give some reasonable time for child window to complete the submit and close it from parent.
