Imagine life without Javascript...

How do/would you implement a pop-up window for user to pick a value out
of a searchable list and then pass it back to the textbox?

You couldn't do what you want exactly without JavaScript. You could
could open the new window with the target attribute of the <a>
element. But then when the user does pick the value you would not be
able to close the window and show the choice in the textbox of the
original window.

I think maybe you should just have a single window. When the user
clicks a link they see a page with the choices. when they choose then
they see the original page with the selection in place. Only one
window this way.

Randy, in case you couldn't see the subject line it was "Imagine life
without JavaScript" so I don't think Richard's page would be helpful.

Works absolutely lovely without a Flash Player. Try it.

The link was not for the actual code. it was for a recording of a
sample application usage. The actual code still uses javascript+XML.
