Hi all,
This javascript driving me crazy. Hope anyone on this list can help me out.
Scenario
--------
Parent window will open a pop-up child window. Then from child window, it will
execute a script to populate a new value into parent window's list menu.
What I have in parent window is a menu with no value :-
<select name=selectMember></select>
What I have in child window is the javascript to populate a value in parent
window :-
<script language=javascript>
function addToMember(inID, inName) {
var myTarget = opener.document.frmName.selectMember;
var newoption = new Option(inName, inID, true, true);
myTarget.options[myTarget.length] = newoption;
}
</script>
So, what I do is execute the function with <a href="javascript:;"
onClick="addToMember('1','Michael');">Click me</a>
What I am expecting is that the parent window's list menu will get populated
with a new value.
Result
------
The above function will work in Mozilla and Netscape, but will not work (and
crash) in IE.
Any Idea?
However, I have discovered that if I move the function from child window to
parent window.
Then use self.opener.addToMember('1','Michael'); to execute the parent window's
function, it will work fine in IE.
Why?
Anyone has any idea?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Tang
