adding options in select widget not working in internet explorer

Hi All,

I have a javascript function which adds a label and value to a select widget in its parent window. The function is working fine in firefox and chrome without any errors or warnings. But it is not working in internet explorer. Please tell me what the issue is. Thanks in advance for your help.


function addToParent( formName, selectName, name, label ) {

var parent = window.opener;
var selectWidget = parent.document.forms[formName].elements[selectName];

if( selectWidget ) {

var length = selectWidget.length;
selectWidget[length] = new Option( name, label, false, false );
}
}


When I tried to debug, internet explorer shows an error in the following line


selectWidget[length] = new Option( name, label, false, false );


Is there anything wrong with this statement ??

function addToParent( formName, selectName, name, label ) {

var parent = window.opener;
var selectWidget = parent.document.forms[formName].elements[selectName];

if( selectWidget ) {

var length = selectWidget.options.length;
selectWidget.options[length] = new Option( name, label, false, false );
}
}

Hi,

Thanks for your help.

But this code seem to have some problem.

The code execution seem to stop at the same place. IE debugger says the following error message "Object doesn't support this property or method". What could be the problem ??

please post a link to your page
