Hi:

I'm looking to allow users to remove items from a select list, but I'm not certain how to go about that in Javascript. I know how to append items to a select list, but not to remove.

I'm guessing that it will involve returning the options array from the select list, looping through it until the item to delete is found, skipping it, and then running through the remaining items, so that they all move up on position in the index. But that still would seem to leave one extra item (blank) at the end of the list.

This technique would probably be the same as inserting a new option in a select list, as opposed to simply appending to it.


Thanks for your time,

JK

just set the value to null :

document.forms['testform'].testselect.options[i] = null;

see http://www.quirksmode.org/js/options.html

Should've known. I keep looking for things like .addNew and .delete methods.

Thanks,
JK

John,
Do you want to delete the selectbox items by clicking the "Delete" button and Add New Items using "ADDNew" Button??

Hello Vinod:

Thank you for the information, but Greg did answer my question. I may not have been clear enough when stating that in my response to Greg.

I really do appreciate your follow up.
