It's not even possible with a browser and HTTP, whether PHP is in the
picture or not...

You're describing a desktop application behaviour.

Stop doing that; You'll just make yourself and your users miserable.

Write a web application.  It's different.

Don't popup a new window unless you absolutely have to.  If I want a
new window, I'll use right-click and do it myself.

Don't try to "freeze" up the list (you can't anyway) cuz I might want
to look at other things in the list to decide how to correctly update
the original anyway.
