Read the AJAX tutorial links in the Offsite Links threads at the top of this forum.

What format is the servlet response in? Is it normal text or xml?

Hi,
The response is in form of XML.
I could parse the XML and able to retrieve the values from the xml response.
But the problem that i am facing is to display these values into a drop down menu .
Using the following code i could parse the response

for (var x=0;x<=xmlDoc.childNodes.length;x++){
var d =xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("svcId")[x].childNodes[0].nodeValue;
var div=document.getElementById('Id'); // 'Id '- id for select menu.
div.innerHTML = div.innerHTML + d;
}

the id - 'Id' is id for a select menu.But none of the values are appending into it.
Is this the correct way to do this.?
Please help me...

Thanks!!

Try, e.g.:

div.options[i] = new Option('new text','new value');
