Pop up window details to update parent details

[newbie14]

Dear All,
I have a page here http://183.78.169.53/tm/addAssign.php. You can select a value from the dropdown list and you will get a list of configurations with the word "Select". If you click on the "Select" word you will get a pop-up value with a list of checkboxes. So what I want is that once they click on the checkbox the window will close and update the "Select" with the revelant "Tyre Serial No". How to achieve the updates? I also want to limit the pop-up window to only at any one time.

There is a dirty way by using cookies. In pop-up window write user choice in cookies before closing it and then read back the cookies in first page. This is not a clean method.

You have to use Ajax to bring the content of popup window on the same page and then you can do what ever you like.

dont use a popup window, it wont work on anybody with a poppup blocker, and just about everything has a popup blocker installed by default
instead use a layer in the current page, have it show or hide (display:block; display:none; ) onclick
a quick dirty example

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
(document.getElementById) ? dom = true : dom = false;
function hideIt(thing) {
if (dom) {document.getElementById(thing).style.visibility='hidden';}
if (document.layers) {document.layers[thing].visibility='hide';} }
function showIt(thing) {
if (dom) {document.getElementById(thing).style.visibility='visible';}
if (document.layers) {document.layers[thing].visibility='show';} }
--></script>
<button id="f1orm" onClick="showIt('layer1');">Go ahead, Make your choice</button> &nbsp;
