Nope, I still get the error: 'the server threw an exception' (in MSIE
5.01). The error usually proceeds to take the browser down with it.
It happens when I try to set the variable 'opts'. Could I be setting up the
object variable (opts) incorrectly? That's my guess, anyway. I can read
'opts'
For example:
opts.length (returns the length)
opts[1].text (returns the name of the first option in the list)
It's just when I try to make a 'new' one that it gets upset.
Bugger.

Try this:

function add2options(optText,optVal){
var opts;
opts = window.opener.document.forms[0].list2.options;
a = opts.length;
opts[opts.length] = new Option
opts[a].text = optText;
opts[a].value = optVal;
}
