Select Box Additions

[Mark Taylor]

Hi there, I know how to load a select box up with server side scripting.
Was wondering if it is possible to use javascript and add items to a select
box once the page is displayed at the client browser. Tried using the add
function but keep getting type mismatch.

Mark,

This is to answer part two of your question. I have a better way to do this
using the IE DOM, but I don't know if you have to support Netscape also,
so I think this will work in both (sorry, but this is vbScript, shouldn't
be too hard to convert though):

'first bump up the length of the options array:
myform.cboMyCombo.options.length = myform.cboMyCombo.options.length + 1

'Now set value and text
myform.cboMyCombo.Options(myform.cboMyCombo.Options.Length - 1).Value = "CA"

myform.cboMyCombo.Options(myform.cboMyCombo.Options.Length - 1).Text = "California"
