updating combobox without refreshing in JSP page

[honey99]

Hi!
I have to fix a problem in JSP.Actually,i have a JSP page say Ex1.jsp.In this Ex1.jsp i have an anchor tag which links into another JSP page i.e when i click on the link another pop-up window will open.My problem is the pop-up window and the parent window has same combobox.if i add data through html form in pop-up window(Ex2.jsp) it enters the combobox...but the data in the combobox of parent window(Ex1.jsp) is entering only when i refresh the parent(Ex1.jsp) page...so how data can be entered in both comboboxes without refreshing???

I don't understand all that you're saying here, but I suspect a Javascript expert may be able to say a few words on the matter, so I'll copy this there as well.

you can have a reference of the parent window by window.opener() method.
Once you have the parent window reference, you can add options to the select box by simple javascript.

how i can update comboboxes in both JSP pages without refreshing

Heya, honey99.

Probably the best way to accomplish this would be to set up an AJAX call to a JSP page that outputs a JSON-encoded object containing the new options for the SELECT element.

From there, your JavaScript could eval() the returned object, then dynamically create OPTION elements on the fly.
