I'll use this for convenience, you may chose to do so, or not:
var sel = document.createElement("select");
[color=blue]

Replace from here...
[color=blue]
> option=document.createElement("option");
> option.value=arr[i].code;
> option.text=arr[i]._value;
> alert(option.value+" - "+option.text);
> this.form_country.appendChild(option);[/color]
.... to here with:
sel.options[sel.options.length] =
new Option(arr[i]._value, arr[i].code);
Change 'sel' back to 'this.form_country' if you want.

Syntax of new Option is:
new Option([text[, value[, defaultSelected[, selected]]]])
where defaultSelected & selected are booleans (true/false).
This is an old reference, but all I could find in a hurry (sleep
beckons...):
