hi
in my first form i have a drop down menu.on selecting a choice from it i open the popup.in the popup i display the all types of products avaible in the selected category. he can enter the quantity he wants. now i have some 10 choices in the drop down menu. user can select any product and enter the quantity he wants. ultimately what i want is that when he enters the quantity for product1, product5 or product7 in the popup asp page, i want to display that in the main parent form.how can i dispaly that. i dont need to display in textbox or whatever. but i just it to display below the drop down. how can this be possible

here is the code below in the parent form:
<select onchange="openForm(this);" size="1" name="listData">
<option value="">Select a product type</option>
<option value ="1">Product1</option>
<option value ="2">Product2</option>
etc...

and my function is:
<script>
function openForm(select) {
var itm=select.options[select.selectedIndex].value;
var popup;
popup=window.open("http://localhost/proj/formb.asp?itm="+itm,"form2","toolbar=0,width=300,location=0,status=0,menubar=0");

if (popup) {
if (popup.opener != self) { popup.opener = self; }
} else {
alert("This popup got stopped.");
}
}
</script>

my formb.asp==>
<!-- #include file="conn.config" -->
<script>
function submitForm() {
opener.f.T1.value = "item1";
// close this window
self.close();
}
</script>

<%
tmpNumber = 0
prodID=Request.QueryString("itm")
response.write(prodID)
set rs = db.execute("Select name from tProduct where productID= '" & prodID & "' ")


%>
<table>
<%
do while not rs.eof %>
<tr><td><% Response.Write rs("name") %>: </td>
<td><input type="text" name="T" & tmpNumber size="20">
</td></tr>
<%
rs.movenext
tmpNumber = tmpNumber +1
loop
%>

</table>
<font size="1"><a onClick="submitForm();"><img src="images/submit_btn.gif" border=0></a>
</body>
</font>
<% set rs = nothing
%></html>
i hope i make myself clear because i dont have any area allocated per se in the 1st form. how do i know how many product-tyeps he selected ...if say is choices are:
product product type quantity
Camera handycam 1
Desktop win XP 2

and i have 10 product types....so the popup will change based on the product he selects ... how to trap all the values and display

pls suggest.
thanks
