Hello all,

I am trying to post a result from a pick list to both browsers.  This 
posts instantly in IE but will not post to Netscape until the page is 
refreshed.  I have tried many approaches, and ideas?  The function is:

function postresultandclose(selection, description) {
   if (window.opener)
   {
     // !add code to check if the window we are posting to is still 
available!
     // if ( window.opener.closed )
     //   window.alert("Parent is no longer open!");
     // else
    window.opener.document.<cfoutput>#attributes.field#</cfoutput>.value 
=3D selection;
       <cfif isdefined("attributes.desc") and attributes.desc IS NOT "">
         if (navigator.appName =3D=3D "Netscape")
         { // don't update the descriptions if Navigator is being used - 
not working yet //
    }
      else
    {
          window.opener.document.<cfoutput>#attributes.desc#</cfoutput>.inn
erText =3D description;
    }
       </cfif>
    }
   else
    {
       window.alert("This window doesn't know who opened it");
    }
   window.close();
   }


The calling code is:

  <td  colspan=3D"100%" align=3D"left" class=3D"iwud"><cfoutput>
   <a href=3D'javascript:postresultandclose("#RefList.OutGrpIref1GenericCod
eCode(i)#","#RefList.OutGrpIref1GenericCodeName(i)#")'>#RefList.OutGrpIref1
GenericCodeName(i)#</a></cfoutput>
  </td>
