[Javascript] Controling a SELECT from a child window

[peter at brunone.com (Peter Brunone)]

   Okay... what happens when you try to manipulate the list from the current window instead (minus the window.opener part)?

   Wait a minute.  I think the problem lies in your use of "option" instead of "options".

 I get an error that says "window.opener.document.form1.mylist.option" is null or is not an object      From: javascript-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx On Behalf Of Peter Brunone
  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
