Hello Ed,

If you could put your site in ColdFusion, you could use a CFINCLUDE combined 
with a database query, to stay on the same page at all times and display the 
window information on the same page that the dropdown list is on, just below 
the list.

Looks like the frame type of solution but isn't frames at all...
