Javascript opener statement

[janedane]

I am writing a small menu program for a restaurant. I have a parent window with a list of menu items on it which when selected fill a selection list on the same page. This works fine so when I select a menu item from the list, it then appears in the selection list. The problem I am having is that I also have an option to open a popup window with a refined list of menu items. When the user selects from the popup list, I also want this information to be populated in the selection list on the opener page. Unfortunately I cant seem to get this piece of code working and was wondering if anyone has ever successfully done this.

PS - I can populate a text fill in from the popup window (on the parent page) but cant seem to add to my selection list.

Thanks!

Here is a example.

Popup Page: This window is opened by the Main Page.

window.opener.this_form.sel_value = "1";

Main Page: This is the form that gets populated by the Popup Page data.

<form name="this_form">

<select name="sel_value">
	<option value="">Select One</option>
	<option value="1">Test 1</option>
</select>

</form>
