IE 5.5 and others will refresh the parent window when the child is unloaded ( like when a form gets submitted on the child ) and the parent window underneath will refresh itself. However IE6 will not only refresh the parent window but put it on top of the child window as well making it look as if the child window has closed when it's actually now underneath the parent. This is fine if the child window DID close but it is mighty confusing for users if all they did was press a button to submit a form. If anyone knows a way around this I'd love to hear it.
