Hi Ross,

I know you said you tried the DIV and SPAN approach but I think you may have
done something wrong as I believe the following should do exactly what you
want. I tested it on my 2003 SE device and it works so it should do the same
on yours.

<html>
<head>
<title>Example 1</title>
<script>

function doSelection(items){
        var s = '<select id="select2">';
        for(i=0; i<items; i++)
                s += '<option>Generated Option ' + (i+1) + '</option>';
        
        s += '</select>';
        
        spanlist2.innerHTML = s;
}

</script>
</head>
<body>

<span id="spanlist1">
<select onchange="doSelection(this.selectedIndex );">
<option>No Options</option>
<option>1 Option</option>
<option>2 Options</option>
<option>3 Options</option>
<option>4 Options</option>
<option>5 Options</option>
<option>6 Options</option>
</select>
</span>

<br>
<br>

<span id="spanlist2">
<select>
</select>
</span>

</body>
</html>
