Try doing this instead of using the onsubmit feature of a form.  Just
let the post go through as normal without the use of any javascript.
Then when the popup refreshes after a successful post load this into the
window.

<script type="text/javascript">
//<![CDATA[

document.onload = function dropWindow() {
  window.opener.location.reload(true);
  window.close();
}

//]]>
</script>

Not positive it will work,  but it is worth a try.
