How can I add <OPTION> to a tag <SELECT> runtime ?

the code combo.innerHTML +="<OPTION value='1'>Name</OPTION>" doesn't
work...

"Doesn't work" is not very useful as an error message.

What browsers must it work in? You use the proprietary "innerHTML" .

I assume "combo" refers to the select element. In that case, this is
the most portable method:

combo.options[combo.options.l ength]=new Option("Name"," 1");

var option = new Option('text', 'value');
combo.options[combo.options.l ength] = option;

I works only in IE and I use:


newOpt = document.create Element("option ");
newOpt.text="Th is is the new option text"
newOpt.value="n ewOptionValue"

document.formNa me.SelectName.o ptions.add(newO pt,2);

2 is the location of added option on the select.


<select name="SelectNam e">
<option value="0" selected>Config uration file</option>
<option value="1" selected>Test file</option>
</select>

Good luck,

Yaron
