My vote would be for a child page. Especially since the user may want to edit more than one why have to keep going back and forth. Also if these edits change the parent page you can do that while working in the child window, allowing for a "real-time" modification.
I would hate to have to click to go to an edit page, make the changes, go back to the listing, pick a new thing to edit, etc.... Not to mention if the edits effect the listing (i.e. price with options or something) what if he makes a mistake? Now he has to go back to the edit page to make corrections. With a child window updating the parent he'll likely see the mistake before closing the edit window. My .02 (inflation adjusted) J.

I am designing a automobile application and have a popup question. The dealer can select from the menu to view all inventory, and from that list of inventory, he can click on a "edit" link to edit the options etc...Should I use a pop-up window where he edits the details of the inventory item? Or should I send him to another page to edit and then click "Back" if he needs to edit more? What would everyone here do?
