You need to first create an option element var optionElement=document.createElement("OPTION"); optionElement.value=value; optionElement.text=display; then add it to the select selectElement.add(optionElement,index); The second argument to the add is the index indicating where you want to put the option in the select. If you don't include it it, the option will be added to the end of the options collection. If you use 0, it will be the first thing in the list. Here are a couple of references (watch wrapping) createElement http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/workshop/author/dhtml/reference/methods/createelement.asp?frame=true add Method http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/workshop/author/dhtml/reference/methods/add.asp?frame=true -----Original Message----- From: Iztok Polanic [mailto:iztokp at amis.net] Sent: Wednesday, September 04, 2002 8:24 AM To: javascript at LaTech.edu Subject: [Javascript] <select> Hi!
