I have two pages A and B. Each page consists of form. While filling form in page A, I need to add one more record into the select control. But I want to keep the current page. As so, I need to open page B and fill the form. Finally, when a new record inserted, then it will be added automatically to the field in page A. Please help me!!!

For this you can be made some hidden input feilds in form of page B and assign the values of the input feilds of the Page A

Hi,

  As i understand, You enter the fields in form A. And when u click the button on this page(A) open new window contains the page B. I think u r passing the values from form A to form B. Those values are passed to next form thru querystring. Fill the form in page B. Submit this form to a page where you insert record into database. At the same time generate a dynamic form in that page and fill hidden fields with the values those you want to place in form A.

After that do a small client script.

opener.document.forms("formname").item("controlnam e").value=document.forms[0].item("hiddenformfield").value;
self.close();

I think its enough.

I want to return the filled value from page B to drop-down box in page A as an option. <SELECT><OPTION>...</OPTION></SELECT>

So, do coding in page B(client side)

var opt=document.createElement("option");
opt.text=newvalue; //displayed content in the select control
opt.value=newvalue; //submitted content in the select control

opener.document.forms[0].item(selectcontrolname).add(opt);

It will add the new item to the select control

Thanks to rajani for this client side script.

i am handling the same problem by passing the new value through query string (say "newValue=abc") back to page A where i have explicitly added
<% if len(request.querystring("newVal"))>0 then%>
<option><%=request.querystring("newValue")%></option>"
<% end if%>

If the page A is called directly then this is a null string and 'IF Statement' fails. In case it is called by Page B then the value gets added.
