Refresh dropdown list

[jbogren]

On a cfform I have a cfselect dropdown .

The situtation is that when an option isn't listed I have a "Add button" next
to the drop down that opens a new window where the user can add an option to
the DB that the select list is created from.

I won't use a combo box ( some people will create 5 versions of the same
option just so they won't have to look at the list and there goes normalization
etc --been there had that problem).

I need to refresh this dropdown list when the new option item has been added.
Is there a CF method of doing this or a Javascript that will do it??

And Thanks

You can use a meta tag to tell the page to refresh on a set interval, or
when the popup window closes it can call the window.opener (I think that is
the js reference) and tell it to refresh..
