Selecting an option box option from a remote window.

Hi all,

I found this script which almost does what I want…
[URL=http://javascript.internet.com/forms/select-value-set.html]http://javascript.internet.com/forms/select-value-set.html[/URL]

But I need it to do this from a pop up window. Reason is that the pop up window will allow you to search a database for a user name and will return the user number. I then need to select this from the option menu in the main window then close the pop up. This will be in the form of a link as there may be more than one member name returned (different last names) and the one chosen or clicked on will change the select option.
Sorry, I’m just a beginner hopeing someone may know how it can be done.

Cheers.
Jay

@phpnoviceMay 17.2006 — Once you figure out which option you wish to select, by index number, you can do it in one of these two ways:

top.opener.document.formName.selectName.selectedIndex = index;

top.opener.document.formName.selectName.options[index].selected = true;
