Hi.



I want to dynamically add new options to a SELECT list. I have 2 list 

boxes. The user can multiselect from list box1 (oGroups) and I want to add 

their selection(s) to list box2 (oSelected).



My problem is I don't know how to set the "Value" attribute for list box2. 

The "Value" in list box1 could be e.g. 6 but it could be 1 in list box2. I 

thought about converting string to numeric, adding 1 to it, converting 

back to string but had problems with that.



I have the following code:



<script language="JavaScript">

<!--

function addtolist() 

{

/* Find selected items in list box1 */

var cSelect = document.all.item("oGroups")

for (var i=0;

  i<cSelect.options.length; i++) {

  /* Check to see if a particular option is selected */

    if(cSelect.options(i).selected) {

	/* Add new option to list box2 */

	var oOption = document.createElement("option");

	oOption.text=cSelect.options(i).text;

        oOption.value=WHAT GOES HERE??

        oSelected.add(oOption)

    }

  }			

}

-->

</script>



TIA
