Hello, I came across some code you wrote on a website (http://www.latech.edu/pipermail/javascript/2001-March/000151.html) and am having the exact same problem as you are, with 'server threw an exception'. My code looks almost identical to yours. I was wondering if you found a way around this problem? I am trying to add an item to a dropdown list on the parent form in IE5.5. Thanks, Patrick Sarnowski
