This is the Java[red]script[/red] forum a completely different thing to the Java programming language which can be found at: forum269.

If you are wanting to do this in Javascript, you can use the remove() function from the dropdown object.

var dropdownObject=document.getElementsById('idofdropdown');
dropdownObject.remove(x);

Where x is the number of the option you wish to remove. You can use the selectedIndex property for the other drop down to get the number of the option to be removed.

hi Vacunita,
your suggestion works to remove the selected item from the list.
now how can i create a new drop downlist including only the remaining items or simply use the same one with the remaining itesm..
i need to add a button that allows me to create a new line with the new dropdown list..


Though ?


Thanks
