Hi all,

My app has a page where you can enter new data into the database through
a form.  All is working well, except that some of the fields require a
choice from a drop down menu.  If the choice for these fields the user
wants is not already in the database then they have to enter that new
choice.  To facilitate that I have added a little '+' sign next the the
drop down which opens a new page where they can enter the new choice,
click save, and go back to the old page.

It does work, but my problem is that, as you would expect, when they go
back to the original page the new choice does not show up in the drop
down menu.  You have to refresh the page in order to get it to show up.
 In addition, my new page shows up in a new tab, rather than a new
window as I intended (using 'target='_blank').

So, I need a way to:

1. Open a new window with a specified view.
2. On clicking 'submit' in the new window, have the new window close
down and auto-reload the original page while retaining the information
already entered in other fields.

It seems like this should be relatively simple, but I cannot find a way
to do it.  I notice that Django's admin interface allows exactly this
functionality, and I have attempted to figure out their javascript but
with no success.  Is there a more simple 'Djangofied' way to do this.

Thanks very much for any help you can offer,
