JavaScript - Add options to a select from a new window
A couple people sent feedback about an error they were getting when trying to add options from a new window. My recommendation at this time is to remotely call a method that will add the new option. Refer to tutorial008.html for an example.
Update - 2005-09-21
I did some searching for existing solutions, and found this issue has been around a while. One solution worth checking out is in the last post of this devshed thread. Basically, the trick is to increment the length of the options, then reference the new option to set the text and value.

HI
I didn't manage to get the solution list here to because window.opener.addOption(newText, newValue); wasn't recognised object ??
but on the other hand I tested the solution at the end of the devshed post, that one worked .
I don't really know why I couldn't call the opener JS function as you implemented it , but in any case , you gave a solution so thanks anyway.

Glad the external link could be of assistance.
Too bad you couldn't get mredkj.com example working. If anyone else has problems with my example, let me know. Try to leave as much information about the problem as possible. Thanks.

While coding today I came across this server exception error throwing up in IE while it was working fine in other browsers. Thankfully I came across your article thru google and sure am glad that you took your valuable time off to post it for the benefit of the developer community. Great work. Thanks.

Thank you so much for this write up. I was going to rip all of my hair out if I saw 'Server threw an exeption' one more time.
This was a huge help. Thank you!!!
