Hello,

Try this:

main_page.html >>

var selectedValue = null; // here will selected value
var dhxWins = new dhtmlXWindows();
...
dhxWins.window(id).attachURL("inner_page.jsp");
...

inner_page.jsp >>

<select id="mySelect">
    <option value="1">one</option>
    <option value="2">two</option>
</select>
<input type="button" value="Select" onclick="doOnSelect();">

<script>
    function doOnSelect() {
       var sel = document.getElementById("mySelect");
       var val = sel.options[sel.selectedIndex].value;
        ...
       // passing value to selectedValue variable to main_page.html
       parent.selectedValue = val;
       // and closing the window (optionaly)
       parent.dhxWins.window(id").close();
    }
</script>

Note that selectedValue and dhxWins (if you are clising window from inner page) should be global variables.
