I’ve the code below written in JavaScript to add a new option to the select list from the opener window:

function updateSelectList() {     var field = opener.document.objectdata.ticketPersonId;     if (true && opener && field)     {         var val = document.createElement('option');         var title = document.objectdata.titleId.options[document.objectdata.titleId.selectedIndex].text;         val.text =  title + ' ' + document.objectdata.firstName.value + ' ' + document.objectdata.lastName.value + ':' + document.objectdata.username.value;             val.value = null;          val.selected = true;         field.add(val, null);     } }

works all fine in Firefox, Google Chrome etc but not IE 6 🙁 please advise how I can make this work in IE 6 aswell.

  1. Here’s my snippet:

    if (oldopt!=null || !horus.brokenDOM)   select.add(newopt, oldopt); else   newopt=options[options.length]=new Option(newopt.text, newopt.value, false, false);

    The definition of horus.brokenDOM is left to the reader 🙂

    IIRC, I had some difficulty with using pre-defined Option objects (generally pulled out of another selectbox) in this context with IE, hence the in-place object creation.
