add Method

Adds an element to the collection.

Syntax

object.add(oElement [, iIndex])

Parameters

oElement	Required. Object that specifies the element to add to the collection.
iIndex	Optional. Integer that specifies the index position in the collection where the element is placed. If no value is given, the method places the element at the end of the collection.

Return Value

No return value.

Remarks

Before you can add an element to a collection, you must create it first by using the createElement method.

The add method can be used on the AREA object only after the page loads. If the method is applied inline, a run-time error occurs.

Example

This example uses the add method to insert an object into the options collection of a SELECT object.

<SELECT ID="oSelect">
  <OPTION VALUE="1">One</OPTION>
</SELECT>

<SCRIPT>
var oOption = document.createElement("OPTION");
oSelect.options.add(oOption);
oOption.innerText = "Two";
oOption.Value = "2";
</SCRIPT>
