[Javascript] help needed badly

[Iztok Polanic]

Hi!

Exactly what you said.
I want to add a <option> tag to the <select> tag in opener window. Why 
should I use createElement? My solutions is also displayed at 
'quirksmode' site:

copy/paste from that site:

document.forms['testform'].testselect.options[i] = new Option('new 
text','new value');

What am I doing wrong?

Bye,

Iztok
