Yes, your construction is much neater. Just one small correction to 
ensure it works - it should be "options" (plural):

selectBox.options[1] = new Option(value,text)

you dont have to specify text/value values
you can use new Option(value,text)
do
selectBox.option[1] = new Option(value,text)

I presume you mean populating a select box without refreshing the page from
the server? Here are the bare bones of the javascript to do the job.
Start with an empty box:
<FORM NAME="myform" METHOD="POST" ACTION="whatever">
<SELECT NAME="myselection" SIZE=1>
<OPTION VALUE="">Select your drink</OPTION>
</SELECT>
</FORM>
Then use the following javascript to increase the number of options and
populate them (normally you would store these values in an array and loop
over it):
document.myform.myselection.length = 4;
document.myform.myselection.options[1].value = "Margarita";
document.myform.myselection.options[1].text = "Margarita";
document.myform.myselection.options[2].value = "Pina Colada";
document.myform.myselection.options[2].text = "Pina Colada";
document.myform.myselection.options[3].value = "Vodka Lime";
document.myform.myselection.options[3].text = "Vodka Lime";
You can also fetch these options from the server using remote scripting.
