options

Property of dom/HTMLElementdom/HTMLElement

Syntax

var result = element.options;
element.options = value;

Examples

This example shows how to display the text and values of all option objects in the first select object in the document.

var coll = document.all.tags("SELECT");
if (coll.length>0) {
    for (i=0; i< coll(0).options.length; i++)
        alert("Element " + i + " is " + coll(0).options(i).text +
            " and has the value " + coll(0).options(i).value);
}

Notes

Remarks

To delete an option object from a select object, assign the option object a null value. This compresses the array. If duplicate identifiers are found, a collection of those items is returned. Collections of duplicates must be referenced subsequently by ordinal position.
