title: jQuery Popup Window Return Value to Parent
body: <p>How can I accomplish the following using jQuery: Open a popup window that returns a value to the parent window when a link in the child window is clicked, close the child window, and then have the parent automatically submit a form based on the value returned? </p>
  
  <p>I realize that the jQuery Dialog is a popular solution, but I require a popup window because the window's contents need to be navigable, and I want to avoid using an iframe in the jQuery Dialog.</p>
  
  <p>The popup window is going to be used to collect more than one value, ultimately to be returned as a delimited string to the parent, but this data collection needs to occur prior to the submission of the parent window's form. If there were a standard design pattern for an "Entity Picker", this would be it. </p>
  
  <p>This needs to work in IE8, FF3.6, Safari 4, and Chrome 5.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks,
  Mark</p>
