Alex, I think it would be better to use the object model of the SELECT itself, like this: document.forms[0].parentSelect.options[0].text = "opval"; where options[0] is whatever index you choose for the current value. You will want to assign a name attribute as well as an id attribute, like this: <select id='parentSelect' name='parentSelect'> and make sure the entire structure is inside a form.
