php popup script

I have the following scripts on a php page, which is working correctly:

Drop box script value:
----------------------
onchange="javascript:custpopup(this.value)"

Script called:
-------------------
<SCRIPT language="JavaScript">

</SCRIPT>

The value selected in the drop box is passed to the page in the function "custpopup" and brings up the correct data on the referenced php page. I need the popup window to ONLY SHOW ITSELF when the dataset it is calling has data in a particular field (comment). This dataset is on the referenced php page:

<?php echo $row_comment['comment']; ?>

I will try this solution today but it looks as if the script will give me an alert message if the $row_comment has a value.

What I am after is the popup window ( window.open('http://localhost/comwebsites/1callorders/site/cust_find_visit_byname_comment.php?txtName='+ value + '&button2=Find','jav','width=650,height=125,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,location=1'); )
only showing if the $row_comment has a value

Here is my latest code. This works as it should if I enter a value into the '+ value +' field. What I need to be able to do is to create a variable which gets this value from a dropdown box on my page. I have tried using the following:
var value = (document.form2.txtName.value)
This does not work. This is the ONLY thing which is stopping this script from running.
How do I define a variable from a dropbox to be used in the javascript below ?

php Code:
---------------------------------------------
if(isset($row_custCom['comment'])){

echo "<SCRIPT language = JavaScript>
var value = (document.form2.txtName.value)
window.open('http://localhost/comwebsites/1callorders/site/cust_find_visit_byname_comment.php?txtName='+ value + '&button2=Find','jav','width=650,height=125,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,location=1')
</SCRIPT>";

}
