windows
How do I get a pop-up window with a dropdown menu to open a file in the main window that launched the pop-up window. Also once the document is loaded how can I get the pop-up window to automatically close?

go to www.irt.org and search in the JavaScript section for pop-up windows. There are two articles that will teach you how to make the windows and I think one that discusses how to use the pop-up as a remote for the main window.
the drop-down form would be intergrated.

use this code. For the close thing when the page page is loaded, I had the popup window closed after 5 seconds of the main window going to another link b/c I couldn't think of a way to have it close when it was loaded b/c I don't think window.opener.close() would work, but it might.
<form name="go">
<p><select name="go2" size="1">
<option selected value="link1.html">Link1</option>
<option value="link2.html">Link2</option>
</select>
<input type="button" value="Go"
onClick="window.opener.location=document.go.go2.options[document.go.go2.selectedIndex].value;setTimeout('self.close',5000)"></p>
</form>
Hope it helps.
