    My parent windows fires off a popup child - no worries.
    The parent window then does a reload - again, no worries.
    Now I'm looking to close the popup after the parent finishes reloading.
    I'm guessing something along the lines of window.childname.close() but is it
    best to do a function that, when the parent loads, it checks if there's any
    windows open with that name (it'll always be the same name) and close them
    or is there a more precise way of doing it?

    Got it! I have a function that fires when the page loads which looks for any windows with the name of my popup and closes them: 
    function killWin(){
  window.open("",winName); // no url, but you're supplying the name
  window.close();
  }
    It's seems so bloody simple now! :)
