CREATING A DROPDOWN MENU

[FOXPROG]

I know you can access and control dropdown menus , list boxes etc from javascript but I was wondering can you create a dropdown menu completely from javascript and if so how?

<script>
document.write(&quot;<select>&quot;
document.write(&quot;<option>one&quot;
document.write(&quot;<option>two&quot;
document.write(&quot;<option>three&quot;
document.write(&quot;</select>&quot;
</script>

Thanks! How can I get it to not clear the form so my other dropdowns don't disappear?

Instead of using document.write, you could use document.writeln (that's as in write line). I'm not sure about browser problems with writeln, but it's been in IE for ages.

Hope that helps.

I think what FOXPROG requested is something similar to this:

<script>
texts = new Array('one', 'two', 'three');
values = new Array(1, 2, 3);
var total_options = 3;

document.write('<select name=thelist>');
for (n=0; n<total_options; n++)
{
thelist.options[n] = new Option();
thelist.options[n].value = values[n];
thelist.options[n].text = texts[n];
}
document.write('</select>');
</script>

Warning: I wrote this on the fly, so the script can require soem debugging.
