How do I show the result of a dropdown in a pop-up screen? This will then drive another dropdown, results will be shown in the original screen.

lets say you have some form elements on the parent. you want to press a
button to get a popup with the value of that element.
here's how i did it. (the simplest version)
function doPreview(){
var valueName = document.getElementById('name').value
//gets the value of the formelement 'name'
newWindow = window.open('preview.htm','preview','width=450,height=300');
//opens a new window
newWindow.document.write("<html><body>this is the value of
name:<br>"+valueName+"</body></html>");
//(over)writes the html of preview.htm
}
