Populationg drop down in Parent with values from popup Window.

[rudy23]

Dunno how complex this is gonna be. Hers what I have right now. Window A is the Parent window. After I make a selection in it from a dropdown it opens a popup window which has another dropdown menu populated with some data from the database. When a user selects an option from the popup it gets populated in a new text box in the parent window. I manged to do this. However I cant imagine how to pass all values to the parent and populate them in a new select box.

Example: user selects State from dropdown in parent window. After checking in the databse Popup window opens showing 4 states in dropdown NY, CT, NJ TX. User selects NY the popup closes and a new select box appears in main window with all 4 states available and NY selected as default.

Note: The values for state are not available when the page loads. They must be passed from the popup window.

Any help and sample code greatly appreciated.

Thats a good one, but heres some ideas.

in popup, sorry vbscript

<script language="vbscript"> 
dim DROPBOX, userSelect
DROPBOX = document.all("DROPDOWN_MENU").options;
for each OPT in DROPBOX
pass OPT.name to the parent DROPDOWN_MENU
next
if (OPT.option("OPT1").select() = true) then
set userSelect = OPT.option("OPT1")
elseif (OPT.option("OPT2").select() = true) then 
set userSelect = OPT.option("OPT2")
else 
Endif

rember just ideas, i need to see you code to really know, what to code.
