Hello,

not 100% sure but as I can remember ".text" is only supported by IE, try

var select = document.getElementById('x_AreaName');
select.options[select.selectedIndex].innerHTML = 'Some Text';
 

Furthermore I didn't see any connection to PHP as you mentioned, guess this is more a JavaScript question. I would also sugest to rewrite the whole dropdown box instead of changing a single option value, and then set the desired selectedIndex.

Hope this helps, good luck.
