Dynamically adding to a Select box

[Aaron Chorpenning]

I use this code to dynamically add <options> to a select box. In IE it works
fine, but I don't think it is supported in NS6. Anyone know of a way to do
this in Netscape 6.1?

var eNewItem = document.createElement("<OPTION value='" +sValue +"'>");
eNewItem.text = sText;
document.getElementById("text").add(eNewItem);

Any help here would be great!

yes I just recently had to dynamically add some countries to an option list.
check out the option object. I'd make the hieght > 1 of the options once
you add more options, otherwise you get this ugly little scroll box
my code had an array of objects, in which i assigned the property of that
'ith' object in the loop to a new option object and thus adding it to the
end of the current option list i had.

for (i=0; i<arrObj.length; i++)
{var newOpt = document.forms.f1.CountrySelection.options;
newOpt[i] = new Option(arrObj[i].countryName);
newOpt.text=arrObj[i].countryName;
newOpt.value=arrObj[i].countryName;
}
