Why not just use some javascript to put the new value right into the drop down, provided the db query went thru sucessfully, this shouldnt be an issue right. on the popup window, after you insert the new record, get the last inserted id, use php then to generate some JS that will push that new record onto the drop down list in the parent window, also, for usability, make this new record the selectedIndex as well.
