Create a dynamic select drop down box

Hey guys,

I am currently stuck, i am trying to create a function that will create
a fresh new drop down option box dynamically.

What happens is the user can double click an element on the page, when
they do this function should be called and create the drop down.

I can do the innerHTML stuff, i know how to add new options but am
stuck as to how to create the initial object in the first place.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Cheers

I think you are looking for

var dropDown = document.create Element("select ");
Any help would be much appreciated.
