Well, the running script could do an 'enter_loop()' and an 'exit_loop()'
if the page is loaded. But I'm pretty sure non local files also doesn't
work for IE that way. I remember solving this once in a two stage manner,
first opening the window and the onLoad event of that second page
initiating the second stage ('opener.top.finishIt()')
