[thelist] JavaScript: Link between frames with a form

[jon steele]

If by "ItemList" you mean a select form field, you can use new Option to add an option to the
list.

However, I wouldn't use a direct href link for this, as that would reload the page when it is not
really needed. Modify your links to

<a
href="#"
onclick="a=parent.TopFrameName.formName.ItemList;a.options[a.options.length] = new Option("DocID
Goes Here","DocID Goes Here As Well")">link</a>
