How to create Check Box and Select Tag

[Raghuram Banda]

Hi there,

I'm new programmer in JavaScript. Can any one help in creating a
checkbox (by default selected) from JavaScript and creating Drop down
box (<select> ... </select>) from Javascript.

Thanks In Advance

var cb = document.createElement("input"); // create input node
cb.type = "checkbox"; // set type
cb.name = "checkboxName"; // set name if necessary
cb.checked = cb.defaultChecked = true; // make it checked now and by default

formRef.appendChild(cb); // add it to some form
and creating Drop down
box (<select> ... </select>) from Javascript.

var se = document.createElement("select");
cb.name = "selectName";
se.options[0] = new Option("selection 1","value 1");
se.options[1] = new Option("selection 2","value 2");
se.options[2] = new Option("selection 3","value 3");
se.options[3] = new Option("selection 4","value 4");

formRef.appendChild(se);

Hope this helps.
