create select element's value can't see

[koyanpaing]

Hello everyone,
I have a problem with these,
I can set value to input text box but i can't set value to dropdown button.
I think my code is wrong in somewhere.
can you help me please?

               var cell8 = row.insertCell(7);
		var element8 = document.createElement("input");
		element8.setAttribute("size",5);
		element8.setAttribute("value","somedata");
		element8.type = "text";
		cell8.appendChild(element8);
		
		var cell9 = row.insertCell(8);
		var element9 = document.createElement("select");
		element9.setAttribute("name","test");
		var element9text = document.put("option","aaa");
		element9.appendChild(element9text);
		cell9.appendChild(element9);

Thanks and Regards

Yes the way u have added is wrong. It should be in different way.

for the element9 (select) you have to dynamically create options and append to element9.

demo code:

var opt1 = document.createElement('option');
opt1.value="demo";
opt1.text="demo";

element9.appendChild(opt1);

you may also use new Option() to create an option element.
