How can I add <OPTION> to a tag <SELECT> runtime ?

the code combo.innerHTML+="<OPTION value='1'>Name</OPTION>" doesn't
work...

"Doesn't work" is not very useful as an error message.

What browsers must it work in? You use the proprietary "innerHTML".

I assume "combo" refers to the select element. In that case, this is
the most portable method:

combo.options[combo.options.length]=new Option("Name","1");

var option = new Option('text', 'value');
combo.options[combo.options.length] = option;

I works only in IE and I use:
newOpt = document.createElement("option");
newOpt.text="This is the new option text"
newOpt.value="newOptionValue"

document.formName.SelectName.options.add(newOpt,2) ;

2 is the location of added option on the select.
<select name="SelectName">
<option value="0" selected>Configuration file</option>
<option value="1" selected>Test file</option>
</select>

Good luck,

Yaron
