Yes, you can call addItem on the ComboBox's data provider. That's the easiest way. > 2) Using the current alphs I can add an item e.g. 'All States' > However, when I try to add it to a combobox which has been > populated from a webservice and uses a labelField="STATE" then I get > the error > 'Property STATE not found on Object and there is no default value' Yes, that's a bug I've seen and fixed. The fix was to make the prompt property behave like a prompt rather than like a call to addItem. > 3) Is it possible to add more than one prompt e.g Western States, > Eastern States and if so how What's the use case? There's only enough space to display one prompt on the ComboBox. You _could_ have a multiline prompt if you want, but it's going to be one prompt in the end (not multiple prompts). > 4) Would I be better off going back to using a function and ,if so, > how does the post in my original code need to be amended If you want to add an item to the ComboBox, you have to add one to the data provider. That's the model-view architecture, that's how it works. Manish ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Get fast access to your favorite Yahoo! Groups.
