Here's a small code sample you can paste to test out. you can pass your
dynamic values to get it to work. put this on the parent page and call
it from your pop-up, but remember to use the "opener" keyword >>
opener.addOption(val,val,val) so it will call the right place.
<html><head>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
function addOption(combo,text,value)
{
var newOpt=new Option(text,value);
var len=document.getElementById(combo).options.length;
document.getElementById(combo).options[len]=newOpt;
document.getElementById(combo).options[len].selected=true;
}
</script>
</head>
<body >
<form>
<select name="sel" id="sel">
<option value="coke">Coca-Cola</option>
</select>
<input type="button" onclick="addOption('sel','Pepsi-Cola','pepsi')"
value="add" />
</body>
</html>
if you need more info on integrating it, just ask.
