Reaching last option of select box

[avivit]

How can I reach the last option in select box using javascript,
WITHOUT the need of checking how many options I have?

Currently I use:

document.form1.selectName.selectedIndex=4;

Thanks

" WITHOUT the need of checking how many options I have?"

Thanks dear.
No it's not hard...WHEN u know WHAT to write
(which I didn't).

Anyway, I got two ways now:
One is yours (except it should be "length-1" instead of "length&quot:

document.form1.selectName.selectedIndex=document.form1.selectName.length-1

Second:

document.form1.selectName.selectedIndex=document.form1.selectName.options.length-1;

Thanks again.

i'm sorry for being ... rude ;-)
to me "checking how many options I have" was exactly the same as "document.form1.selectName.(options.)length" ! that's why i thought your question was weird ;] !
happy to know that it's working for you now )

Yes, Sometimes u can't think simple when dealing
with complex stuff (Plus I was too lazy to check the syntax)
