Some other suggestions of things you could try.

Use frames within your modal window. Submit the changes to one frame
(could even be a 'hidden' frame with height of 0) within the modal
window and ensure changes are reflected using JavaScript to "talk"
between the frames.

Use hidden form fields and JavaScript to save user entered parameters,
which avoids having to make a server round trip, and then just make
these changes when the final submission is made (which could then be
back to the opening page).

numerous dropdownlists - so saving the state manually and reconstructing
it is not trivial - hence the desire to go modal and return to an
unchanged parent page.
