Here are some functions I wrote for dealing with select boxes...
function setSelectByValue(id, v){
var o = $(id).options;
for (var index = 0; index < o.length; ++index) {
var item = o[index];
if(v == item.value){
s.options.selectedIndex = index;
return true
}
}
return false
}
function setSelectByText(id, t){
var o = $(id).options;
for (var index = 0; index < o.length; ++index) {
var item = o[index];
if(t == item.text){
s.options.selectedIndex = index;
return true
}
}
return false
}
function removeOption(id, v){
if(v == "all"){ // Remove all options
$(id).options.length = 0;
return true;
}
// remove options with matching value.
var o = $(id).options;
for (var index = 0; index < o.length; ++index) {
var item = o[index];
if(v == item.value){
o[index] = null;
return true
}
}
return false
}
function addSelectOption(id,t,v ){
var optn = document.createElement("OPTION");
optn.text = t;
optn.value = v;
$(id).options.add(optn);
}
