Something along these linesdocument.formname.Product.options[0].text="rulers";

Wouldn't it bedocument.formname.Product.options[0].innerHTML="rulers";

[scott100]

.text reads/changes what is contained in the current selection, works in IE, FF and Opera :)On this occasion you could use either .text or .innerHTML

[Chocolate570]

Oh, thanks for pointing that out, Scott. Never knew you could use text. I've heard of innerText, just not text
