OptionsArray object (Object/browser)

A collection object that belongs to a select popup.

Availability:

JavaScript - 1.0

JScript - 1.0

Internet Explorer - 3.02

Netscape - 2.0

JavaScript syntax: - myOptionsArray = mySelector.options

Object properties: length

Object methods: add(), item(), remove(), select()

Warnings:

Netscape 6.0 implements this in a DOM-compliant manner. That means the object type is an HTMLCollection object. This is a generic object type and there are no special methods or properties added to it. The things you might have done with an OptionsArray object are not going to work.
MSIE appears to implement this as a NodeList although you cannot tell because it doesn't make a constructor or prototype available for you to inspect.
