Do u really want to do this thing with AJAX, u can achieve this task wothout AJAX.

[HTML] <html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function doThis()
{

var x = document.getElementById('myText').value;
if(x==""||x==null||x==false)
{
alert("Please Enter the Value in the Text Field");
document.getElementById('myText').focus;
}
else
{
document.getElementById('mySelect').add(new Option(x,x));
}
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
Enter Text: <input type="text" id="myText" name="myText">
   
<input type="button" value="Add to Combo" onclick="doThis()">
<br/><br/>
<select id="mySelect" name="mySelect">
<option>Select</select>
</select>
</body>
</html>[/HTML]

Thanks alot for you reply .. did what u said although i was trying to try something new (like ajax) but anyway, now i need when this value is added to the combo box the old option which is ( no data added ) be removed from the combo box
here's my trial :

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 var opt= document.getElementById("no");

         opt.remove(0);

where "no" is the name of the option i want to remove not the name of the select statement

Removing u can do easily

[HTML] var sel = document.getElementById('mySelect').selectedIndex;
document.getElementById('mySelect').remove(sel);[/HTML]

This piece of code will do the work what u are aiming at.
