session variables can only be set on the server, a form only exists in HTML if you are not submitting the form then nothing is being sent to the server for you to store in any scope. Therefore you will either need to pass the current form field values between your windows using Javascript or you will need to use AJAX to store the current selection in session scope so that you can then access it on the new window.
