Clearing a DropDownList

[Vi]

Hi,
Is there a way to clear a DropDownList from code behind, something similar
to myDropDownList.length=0 on the client?

Thanks.

Hi,

This should work:

document.getElementById('dropdownlistname').option s.length = 0;

Good luck! Ken.

In the code-behind, how about myList.items.clear?

The DropDownList has an Items property with methods for adding and
removing ListItems. There's Clear(), which will remove *all* items
(DDLID.Items.Clear()), and there's also methods like Add(), Insert(),
Remove(), and RemoveAt().
