    adding items to a list or menu

    Not sure if it is a php question but since i am working in php here it is.

    Ho can i add items to (the item label=visual text and the value=index
    number) a list object on a website.

    I am having a list with 4 items and i would like to add the text from a
    textfield (textfield1.val ue) to the list object so it will hold 5 items.

    thanks for any suggestions

      You're right. That's a JavaScript question. comp.lang.javas cript is
      thataway. Sorry.

      Oh, and don't cross-post.

          Just to piss off the other guy, here's the JS code for adding an item

          var o = document.create Element('OPTION ');
          o.innerText = textfield1.valu e;
          o.value = 'Something';
          document.getEle mentById('listb ox_id').appendC hild(o);

          HTML:

          <select id="listbox_id" >
          <option>Hello </option>
          ...
          </select>

              PHP is server side, it looks like you want to send items to a client
              side app (javascript?) you could do something like this:

              --->Snip!

              <?php

              $array = array('item1', 'item2', 'item3', 'item4'); //I use an array
              here for simplicity, you could do the same with a dB query or the like

              echo "<html>\n<head> </head><!--javascript-->"; //Not a javascript guy,
              but you get the point

              foreach($array as $key=>$item) {
              echo "\n textdata.item$k ey=$item";
              }

              ?>
              <body> etc.....

              <---

              Not sure how javascript looks (started working with it in last 2 days)
              but you can change that echo statement to what it should be in
              javascript

              Cheers!

                  Heh, if you mean me as "the other guy", I'm happy he got his answer. And
                  when he asks which lace to cross next in four groups, you can help there too
                  (and repeat his cross-post again).

                  Hugs.
