Deleting items from a dropdown

clcope

I want to delete all items in a dropdown list. Here is my script so far...it doesn't seem to be deleting all contents. Ignore the *, it was only used for posting this article.

<script language="javascript">
function UpdateProvince(CountryName)
{
var combo = document.submit.yourprovince;
var item = document.createElement("option");
ClearProvinceList(combo,item);
*
// Update province list with valid values
if (CountryName.value == 'United States')
{
combo.options.add(item);
item.innerText = "Arizona";
item.value = "AZ";
}
}
*
function ClearProvinceList(combo, item)
{
var codesInList = combo.length
*
// Remove entries from the selectCodes Instance
for (i=0; i < codesInList; i++) {
combo.options = null
}
*
// Add default entry
combo.options.add(item);
item.innerText = "Please select your province...";
item.value = "123";
item.selectedIndex=0;
}
</script>
<select name="yourcountry" onChange="UpdateProvince(window.document.submit.elements('yourcountry'))">
<OPTION VALUE="Please select your country..." SELECTED>Please select your country...
<OPTION VALUE="Afghanistan">Afghanistan
<OPTION VALUE="Albania">Albania
.
.
.
*

Thanks for your help,

Yes, I know. I would like to replace the javascript with php. If I failed to note that in the last post, I am truly sorry.
