Clau #1 / 5	Dynamic Options in HTML-Forms Hey guys, has anyone heard from problems when assigning "Option"-objects to a HTML-Form select-field? example: var myOption = new Option ("myTest","99", false, false) top.neighbourhood.document.f1.sup.options[0] = myOption There is a strange behaviour: top.neighbourhood.document.f1.testtest.options[1].text = "myTest" top.neighbourhood.document.f1.testtest.options[1].value = "99" works absolutely correct .... and btw upper code segment works for well for another frame ;-(?????.... (I'm working with IE 5.00.2919.xxx.) Did anyone have similar problems? What is the solution to that problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated, (Please make cc to Thanks!!

Martin Honne #2 / 5	Dynamic Options in HTML-Forms I think IE has some problems to create an Option in one window and insert it into another window. So do var opt = new parent.frameName.Option(...) if you want to insert the option into another frame's document Quote: > Hey guys, > has anyone heard from problems when assigning > "Option"-objects to a HTML-Form select-field? > example: > var myOption = new Option ("myTest","99", false, false) > top.neighbourhood.document.f1.sup.options[0] = myOption > There is a strange behaviour: > top.neighbourhood.document.f1.testtest.options[1].text = "myTest" > top.neighbourhood.document.f1.testtest.options[1].value = "99" > works absolutely correct .... > and btw upper code segment works for well for another frame > ;-(?????.... > (I'm working with IE 5.00.2919.xxx.) > Did anyone have similar problems? > What is the solution to that problem? > Any help would be greatly appreciated, > (Please make cc to > Thanks!! > Claus Eikemeier > mcm institute > University of St. Gallen -- Martin Honnen http://javascript.faqts.com/ http://home.t-online.de/home/martin.honnen/jsgoddies.html

Klaus S. Magnell #3 / 5	Dynamic Options in HTML-Forms Hi Claus Similar questions have already been asked and answered in this newsgroup, but I couldn't find them. Somewhere among the KB articles at Microsoft you should find one that says you cannot create Options across frames in IE5, at least the way you're trying to. It was possible in IE's earlier versions, but it isn't anymore. Try to find the article for an acceptable explanation and, as a workaround, place a function in the select-field's document to create the options. Then call it from the frame you want to, passing the proper arguments. Hope this helps.

Clau #5 / 5	Dynamic Options in HTML-Forms Thanks a lot, (especially Martin, Klaus and Michael!) I have tried the hints and indeed they work! The solution seems a little bit strange to me, but nevertheless it's ok ;-) (and btw it costs me "only" 1,5 days .... :-(( Thanks again, Claus
