dropDownSetContentsFromPopup is used in combination with menuitemPopup. Use menuitemPopup in the "Button (javascript)" field for a dropdown in a newedit or parameter page.

From the popup menu item, create a link to a javascript menu item that calls dropDownSetContentsFromPopup. When the user clicks on the link the popup window will close and the specified information is copied to the dropdown.
