Insert JS in page

[JimJx]

Hi all,

I have what is probably a simple problem but since I have been away from JS for a whiule it escapes me....

I have a form that needs a select box. The options in this select are incremental, such as FORM1 FORM2 ... FORM100

Instead of writing out each option, can I use some JS to loop through 1 - 100 and write them out when the page loads?

Any info greatly appreciated.

yes, but the preferred method is server-side code.

try something like this:

var s = document.forms['formname'].elements['selectname'];
s.options.length = 0;
var totalOptions = 100;

for ( var i = 0; i < totalOptions; i++ ) {
    s.options[s.options.length] = new Option( 'Form' + i, 'Form' + i );
}

i didn't test it, but it should do the trick.

an alternative method is to build an innerHTML string and then set the innerHTML of the select at the end of the loop.
