Moving values from one window to another

I have a child window (aspx page) opened from the parent application (using window.open). The child window has some controls, and a textbox. When the user is finished, s/he clicks a button and the following code takes the value from the child window's textbox and populates the parent, like so:

window.opener.document.form1.InputContainer$LetterInput$txtReasons.value = txtVal;

This works great for the textbox I have on the parent page. But now, I need to populate a listbox on the parent and am not having much luck. I've tried these two methods but to no avail:

o.text = txtVal;
o.value = "1";
window.opener.document.form1.InputContainer$LetterInput$lstReasons.add(o);

window.opener.document.form1.InputContainer$LetterInput$lstReasons.add("Text", "Value");

I get "htmlfile: No such interface supported" with both.

Anybody have any ideas? If I've posted in the wrong place please let me know so I can move it to a different forum.

Thanks,

Jason
 
I would check the javascript forum, it looks like a syntax issue.
 
...Wish there was a way to delete my post :-)
 
No big deal...
You can't edit either which stinks
