How to close a popup and execute an xhr call to update the "opener" window?

Hi,

I'm opening a popup window using:

<%= link_to 'Click here to manage documents and photos for this vehicle', { :action => 'manage_photos_documents_popup' }, :popup => [ 'Manage Documents and Photos', 'width=550, height=750, scrollbars=yes' ] %>

I need to close the popup and make an ajax call to an action updating a div in the window that opened the popup using either a button or link (on the popup, of course). It would be nice to be able to pass data back to the action that updates the div in the calling window.

Any ideas on an approach for this? THANKS!
