window.open (all lower case) opens a new browser window, not a "dialog". (As
an aside, new windows are, almost universally, a bad idea).

A session is a server concept. All the client knows about is whatever
session token you ask it to pass back to the server. Don't ask it to send
that token back for the page loaded in the new window. How you do that
depends how you are passing the token about.

In Windows programming terms, a combobox is a drop down menu combined with a
text input. There is no simple way to get such a thing on the WWW (although
you can fake it with JavaScript). Perhaps you mean a select element? Such
things are often rendered as drop down menus.

No, they generally don't.

Put it in a window of reasonable size.
