[UPDATE] Re: [Javascript] Adding an item to a select list from another window

[Robert Pollard]

I just discovered that Explorer 5.2 is having problems but Netscape  
seems to work fine.  It is adding the items as expected to the list.   
Any ideas why Explorer blows up and Netscape doesn't?

Thanks for all your help,

Robert
