var myListLength = myList.options.length; If length is greater than zero, you have at least one item in the list. -----Original Message----- From: javascript-bounces at LaTech.edu On Behalf Of Dave Stoltz If I have a listbox (not a dropdown) named "mylist", how can I test to see if there are any values in the box? I need to test if it's empty or not. Thanks!
