PocketPC create new list item in a listbox?

[xpblueScreenOfDeath]

How do I create a new list item in a listbox in javascript? I tried the follow but it doesn't work in Pocket PC IE.

list.options[list.options.length] = new Option('text', 'value');

and

list.options.add(new Option('text', 'value'));

I suppose you could try:

newOp = document.createElement("option");
newOp.appendChild(document.createTextNode("text"));
newOp.value = "value";
list.appendChild(newOp);

Try the DOM method:

list.options.add(new Option('text', 'value'));

Hope this helps,

You need to be running IE4 or above on the pocket PC to be able to access the options collection.

What version are you running?

Actually, I am running the IE that came with PocketPC 2003 handheld device. I thinking there probably isn't a way.

Nah, there's always a way...well...usually.

Why not try putting the select in a div, then literally rewriting the div with the new option included in the select:

function test(list)
{ 
old = list.innerHTML;
newOp = "<option value='value'>Text</option>";
document.getElementById("theDivID").innerHTML = "<select>"+old+newOp+"</select>";
}

hope that helps

Great - but I asked what version of IE you were running, not what year your Pocket PC was.

I tried already tried rewriting the div. The problem with rewrite the div is that the onchange event doesn't work when the listbox is created dynamically. Thanks elegidito for the suggestion anyways. Dan I'll have get back to with the version of IE because I am not at work right now.
