In that case you have two options. You can either do some slightly complex javascript in the pop-up using window.opener to refer back to the parent window and set the values in the parent form, or you can, as I suggested, submit the parent form at the same time you launch the pop-up, cache the submitted values, and then, when you submit the form in the pop-up, combine the two values.

Why not pick whichever of these suits your expertise, have a go, and then, in the unlikely even it doesn't work, post the code here, and someone will probably be able to fix it up

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
