[Javascript] accessing javascript array value inside the select tag

[Bill Marriott]

Hi

Something like this may be what you need to set the options dynamically ( if
that is what you are trying to do).
You will need to declare all the variables.

comboObj.options.length = 0;
 var i;
  for (i = 0; i < myarray.length; i++)
    {
           var pOption=document.createElement("OPTION");
           pOption.value=myarray[i][0];
           pOption.text=myarray[i][1];
           comboObj.options.add(pOption);
    }

Bill
