Synopsis
Read/Write
The number of OPTION objects nested inside the
SELECT object. You can adjust this value upward or
downward, but there is some browser-specific behavior to watch out
for. To genuinely add options to a SELECT object,
you must follow the browser-specific way of creating new
OPTION objects (see the options
object for details). If you set this property to a number smaller
than its original value, OPTION objects are
deleted from the bottom of the list. A value of zero does not cause
the element to disappear, but there are no selectable options in the
element.
Example
document.forms[0].mySelect.length = 3
Value
Integer.
Default
