adding items to a list\menu

Ho can i add items to (the item label=visual text and the value=index
number) a list object on a website.

I am having a list with 4 items and i would like to add the text from a
textfield (textfield1.value) to the list object so it will hold 5 items.

thanks for any suggestions

This has been asked numerous times in the past. See (watch for wrap):

I have al ibrary of functions specifically for dealing with select lists,
and addOption is one of them:
http://www.mattkruse.com/javascript/selectbox/
(although that function in particular is rather trivial).

There are functions there to re-sort the list if you'd want to do that, too.

Base careful when adding new options - older browsers like Netscape4 will
not expand the size of the list box, so your new options may not be visible.
