WORKS IF LIST IS SELECT MULTIPLE BUT NOT SINGLE 1

THIS CODE WORKS IF LIST IS SELECT MULTIPLE

Code:

    for (i=0;i<List.length;i++)
    {
        List.options[i].selected = false;
    }

I need it to work on single select

in a single select once you select you can't seem to unselect so is changing it from a single to a multiple to use the code above then change back to single

AN OPTION?

TIA,

This one is a simple one-liner:

Code:

List.selectedIndex = -1

and here's an example you can copy/paste to test yourself:

Code:

<body>
<form name=blahForm>
<select name=blahSelect>
<option>1
<option>2
<option>3
</select>
<input type=button value='Unselect' onclick='document.blahForm.blahSelect.selectedIndex = -1'>
</form>
</body>

one-liner worked great, just what i needed. i don't even need the for loop. thanks for the fast response would have thanked you earlier but site was down.
