Well Jeff,

Unless you want all of the changes to happen client side in  
Javascript (shudder) you are going to have to let the server know  
about it. That either means submitting the form (either by the user  
clicking a button or as Joshua suggested through some JS bound to the  
popup) or, if you feel adventurous, you might want to investigate the  
Ajax framework in Project WONDER.

Talking about Ajax frameworks (nice segue eh?) "Lionel" posted a link  
to his framework on my blog <http://rlescot.free.fr/MyBlog/Sur%20le% 
20fil/C1D80B26-EA05-4ED8-8FF8-A226D0156E89.html> I haven't had a  
chance to look at in-depth but it looks interesting.
