Adding Item to select box

[JackD4ME]

I have a select box that I am trying to clear and then repopulate. It is dynamic built on a recordset. I have tested the records and got alert boxes to popup with the correct data. I have searched the internet now for hours and cannot find anything that tells me how to repopulate the select box. It is a dependent box. The code is below...

function ezn(){
<%sTr="Select * From [District Abatements]"
set da=ezConn.Execute(sTr)
while da.eof=False%>

if (document.add_ez.ez.value=='<%=da("EZ ID")%>'){
//this is the line that i am having trouble with....
document.add_ez.ed.options[1]=new option ('<%=da("District Code")%>','<%=da("District Code")%>')
}
<%da.movenext
wend%>

}

Thanks for the help,
Jack

See my FAQ, "How do I create multi-level select / list / drop down boxes?" (faq216-6294) for a good example of this. It's been there since May, so I'm guessing you didn't check the FAQ section...

Hope this helps,

That's a classic unwarranted mix of client-side and server-side functionality which is not going to work like that.

I know its non-conventional, but that does not mean it will not work. With this code I can already get the javascript to loop through the asp recordset and display the results in an alert box. All that needs to be done is clear the second box and populate it with the results. The problem is not with finding the correct fields, its populating the box.

Really? I have nothing to say.

Did you check the FAQ I mentioned?
