Clearing a <select>

[Guest grunt_lord]

Hi,I just want to know how it can be possible to remove all the <options> that are inside a <select>. I'm getting the data via an AJAX request (using prototype) and I want to clear the list before I show the result.Thanks a lot in advance,Blaise Bernier

Use this.

<script type="text/javascript">function clrSel(id){x=document.getElementById(id);y=x.options;for(z=0;z<y.length;z++){x.removeChild(y[z]);}}</script>

That should work. First time I've tried out removeChild, so please don't hesitate to blame me for giving you a fault script in the likely event that this thing blows up. :)Thanks,Choco

actually an easier way is this

x=document.getElementById(id);x.options.length = 0;

I am pretty sure that works.
