Insert values into Listbox with Javascript

[sbao004]

Hi, I want to split a sentence and put each word into a row of ListBox by using Javascript. Does anyone know how to do that? Thanks,

try this for (var i = 0; i < states.Tables[0].Rows.length; ++i) { document.getElementById("ddlState").options[document.getElementById("ddlState").options.length] = new Option(states.Tables[0].Rows[i].StateName, states.Tables[0].Rows[i].StateId); } or document.getElementById("ddlState").options[0] =value; Ashutosh kumar

Hi Ashutosh, Thank you for your reply. Can I please know what "ddlState" is? Is it the name of the Listbox I want to display the words, or the control that has the sentance? If it is the Listbox, where can I pass the sentance? And should I use something to split the sentance first? Thanks,

yes ddlState is a id of dropdownlist. value is a variable through which we can insert data into list. Aashutosh Kumar

Hi Ashutosh, Sorry, I'm still not very clear about these codes Does it work the same for ListBox as well? So what is "states"? Is it a name of a talbe or a DataSet or something?

What about "StateName" and "StateId"? Are these some kind of a property or it will be the Name and ID of the DataSet?

How about the "or" is it a part of the code or it's the next line of the code will do the same thing as the codes above, so it is another option for me?

Thank you for answering me. And sorry about the trouble, without understanding them I can not modify them and customise into my codes. Thanks again,
