I'd like to add a new item to the select object, that is in the another
frame.
the following command doesn't work from frame2, the frame1 and frame2 are
children frames.

parent.frame1.document.form1.products[parent.frame1.document.form1.products.
options.length] = new Option("111");

Thanks
Barna

Hi Barnabas

Q237831 - PRB: Problem Adding New Option to Select Box in Another Frame in
Internet Explorer 5
http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q237/8/31.ASP

Hope this helps.

from "frame1"...

var ParentWin = window.parent;
var Frame2Win = ParentWin.frames.item("frame2");

Frame2Win should then be accessible to script. However, your call to
create a new Option("111") must be called from within "frame2" in
order to create the new element within Frame2's DOM.  So there must be
some function within frame2 that will include the code to create the
new Option. This function can be called from other frames or the
parent Frames Page.

However, it is possible to place script functions in the Frames Page
as well.

you may have a function in the Frames Page like

AddFrame2Option(OptionID)
{
        var Frame2 = window.frames.item("frame2");
        Frame2.AddOption(OptionID);

from frame 1 you may call

var ParentWin = window.parent;
var Frame2Win = ParentWin.frames.item("frame2");

Frame2Win.AddOption(OptionID);

Note:  this is all pseudo-code that I haven't explicitly tested, but
It could lead you in the right direction.

Good Luck,
