保存并关闭按钮javascript

Question

I'm creating a form where user can select between 3 types of predefined letters and a custom one by selecting from a drop down menu. I have a javascript function that opens a popup window when 'custom letter' is chosen, so far so good. What i want is on the popup window to have a text area where user can write whatever he wants and finally press a button which saves that text written and close that popup.... is it possible?

I'm using php and javascript, but i presume some ajax will be needed here.....

Thanks

Just embed the textarea and the button in a form that POSTs to the PHP script that handles the saving.

<form action="save_stuff.php" method="post" onsubmit="window.close();">
    <textarea name="letter" cols="50" rows="50"></textarea>
    <input type="submit" value="Save & Exit" />
</form>
