[Javascript] Controling a SELECT from a child window

[Dstoltz at SHH.ORG (David Stoltz)]

I think I got it:
 
 
It should be:
window.opener.document.form1.mylist.options[0].selected=true;

not:
window.opener.document.form1.mylist.option[0].selected=true;

The "option" should be "options"

I get an error that says "window.opener.document.form1.mylist.option" is
null or is not an object

Hi David,

   You should be able to use the same syntax, as long as you refer to it
through the window.opener object...

   When someone tells me "it doesn't work", I automatically ask what is
really going on.  Are you seeing an error message -- and if so, what
does it say -- or is something unexpected happening, or is nothing at
all happening?

Cheers,

Peter

Hi All,

I have a problem - I am popping up a child window, and I need to:

1) Clear a select box on the parent of all it's options
2) Add new options to the select box on the parent window
3) Select (highlight) an option in the select box on the parent window

Can anyone give me any code how I can do this from the CHILD window? I
am trying with this so far to select an option, with no luck:

window.opener.document.form1.mylist.option[0].selected=true;

Thanks for any help
