I am using following code to add option to a list box

for (var i = 0; i < Engs.length; i++)
{if(document.dataform.PMPSA.value == Engs[i].PMPSANo)
{NewOpt = new Option;
NewOpt.value = Engs[i].No;
NewOpt.text = Engs[i].No + "-" + Engs[i].Description;
document.dataform.Engagement.options[document.dataform.Engagement.options.length] = NewOpt;
}
}

is it possible to select a particular option?

option selected does this, the problem is where in the list you want it. Simply do a check for the i value of the option you want, and doc.write the option selected in.

this is the simple code that you want to end up with:

fsdfsdfasdfas
fsdfsdfasdfas
fsdfsdfasdfas
fsdfsdfasdfas
fsdfsdfasdfas
fsdfsdfasdfas
fsdfsdfasdfas
fsdfsdfasdfas
this one
fsdfsdfasdfas
fsdfsdfasdfas

If I have completely missed the intent of the question, i have to tell you I was out drinking pretty damn late last night!!!!!! so sorry!

Hi dhaliwam,

Can't help but think I answered this somewhere else

document......Engagement.options.length] = NewOpt;
if (i == someNumber)
document....Engagement.options.length].selected = true;
