dynamic list menu

[superfly404]

Is there a way to create a dynamic list menu in a form with Javascript...

<form name="form1" method="post" action="">
From<select name="select">
</select>
</form>

Using code from an XML file like this stored in a different file?

<FROM="John"></FROM>
<FROM="Mary"></FROM>
<FROM="Thomas"></FROM>

var oOption = parent.document.createElement("OPTION");
oOption.id = newname;
oOption.text = newname;
oOption.value = newname;
oSelect.add(oOption,oSelect.options.length-1);
oOption.selected = "selected";

Don't know much about the XML part, but you can add options to a select list like this:

var oSelect = parent.document.getElementById('[i]listname[/i]');
var oOption = parent.document.createElement("OPTION");
oOption.id = "[i]newid[/i]";
oOption.text = "[i]newtext[/i]";
oOption.value = "[i]newvalue[/i]";
oSelect.add(oOption,oSelect.options.length-1);
oOption.selected = "selected";
