You use the code in
http://www.faqts.com/knowledge-base/view.phtml/aid/1181/fid/178/lang/
and use
  var select =  
    parent.frameName.document.formName.selectName
or 
  var select = 
    windowVar.document.formName.selectName


Note: This works in Netscape 4.x and 6.x but NOT IE 5.x
IE 5.x reports:
   'The server threw an exception'
Script debugger points to the line that the option., i.e.,
   sel.option[sel.options.length] = opt;
Further details:
   'An exception of type "Microsoft JScript runtime error: Object 
    doesn't support this property or method" was not handled.'
