Use

window.showModalDialog

or

window.showModelessDialog

instead of

window.Open

as Those 2 methods permits to pass arguments to the opened popup page (2nd calling parameter) That you can retrieve in popup page by the

window.DialogArguments

property. Water is not bad as long as it stays out human body ;-)

You're not there.
Here's what you got to do if you want to get your parameter CLIENT-SIDE (what I though you want to do because you spoke of &quot;VBS&quot;, not &quot;ASP&quot :

<form>
<p>
  <select size=&quot;1&quot; id=&quot;D1&quot;>
    <option value=&quot;R&quot;>red</option>
    <option value=&quot;G&quot;>green</option>
  </select>
  <input type=&quot;button&quot; value=&quot;Submit&quot; onClick=&quot;B1_OnClick&quot;>
</p>

<SCRIPT Language = &quot;vbscript&quot;>
  Sub B1_OnClick()
    dim o_Select, D1_Val
    Set o_Select = document.getElementById(&quot;D1&quot;)
    D1_Val = o_Select.value
    Window.showmodaldialog &quot;newpage2.asp&quot;,&quot;D1=&quot; & D1_Val,&quot;toolbar=0,location=0,status=0,menubar=0,scrollbars=1,resizable=1,width=403,height=250,top=200,left=200&quot;
End Sub
</SCRIPT>
</form>

page 2
<SCRIPT Language = &quot;vbscript&quot;>
thing = window.DialogArguments()
msgbox thing
</script>

Now, if you want to get your parameter SERVER-SIDE :

<form method=&quot;POST&quot; action=&quot;newpage2.asp&quot; ID=&quot;Form1&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;>
<p>
  <select size=&quot;1&quot; name=&quot;D1&quot; ID=&quot;D1&quot;>
    <option value=&quot;R&quot;>red</option>
    <option value=&quot;G&quot;>green</option>
  </select>
  <input type=&quot;submit&quot; value=&quot;Submit&quot; name=&quot;B1&quot; ID=&quot;Submit1&quot;>
</p>
</form>

page 2
<%
thing = request.form(&quot;D1&quot;)
response.write thing
%>
