Add items in Drop Down List from a child window to parent window.

[Khushwinder Chahal]

Hi All,
In my jsp page i have a hyper link, a text box and an empty drop down list.
On clicking hyper link a child window is open in which i can select some value
and this values pass to the parent window text box and the child window closes.
Now i want to do the same thing with my drop down list. I mean select some value from the child window and then show this in the drop down list. But i m not finding any solution.
If any body has any idea help me.
Thanks in advance.

Write a javascript method in the parent window:

function fnAddOpts(value, text)
{
  var newOpt = new Option(value, text);
  //get a ref to the Dropdown object
  ddObj.options[length] = newOpt;
}

In your popup window, before you do window close, pass the values to the parent's script method:

parent.fnAddOpts(value, text);
window.close();

That should do it, I s'pose.
