[thelist] Option Value change

[apathetic]

Let's say you have an array containing all of the options:

var optionList = {
    'USA' : '098039284',
    .. etc ..
}


Then all you need is some code to rewrite the contents of your select box:

functon rewriteOptions( selectBox ) {

    selectBox.length = 0;
    
    for( var opt in optionList ) {
        selectBox.options[ selectBox.length ] = new Option( opt,
optionList[ opt ] );
    }
}

Call that when the page loads, passing a reference to the select box.

Alternatively, you could simply use a document.write to generate the select box:

<select>

<script type="text/javascript">

    for( var opt in optionList ) {
        document.write( '<option value="' + opt + '">' + optionList[
opt ] + '</option>' );
    }

</script>

</select>


These are only code samples off the top of my head.  You might need to
fiddle around slightly to get it working.
