var container = document.getElementById("myDiv");
var aSelects = container.getElementsByTagName("select");
return(aSelects.length);
}[/CODE]

It showes how to create and append som input fields. All you need to do is to change it to create select (with options) -element instead.

If this don't help you, write here again and explain more thoroughly what you're trying to do ?.

and i would like to add equipment by clicking the add button on the left hand side of the page.

Can you help?

@Dr_FlinkJan 09.2007 — Don't realy understand what you're doing here. I'm clicking the "Insert slot" button, and it seems to work fine?

@mattasticauthorJan 09.2007 — its the add button on the right, sorry my mistake. I have no script for it though, I have no idea where to start.

I need to add equipment select lists by clicking the add button.

Thanks again

@Dr_FlinkJan 09.2007 — Ok, but I still don't follow. Let's say I choose an equipment and a quantity. What do you want to happen and where should it happen.
Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
@mattasticauthorJan 09.2007 — OK sorry for my poor explanation. When you click 'add' i want another select list and quantity list to appear underneath the current one, so users can add numerous pieces of equipment. So they can book multiple items of equipment per slot.

Is that ok?

Thanks again

@Dr_FlinkJan 09.2007 — Ok, well you can do it in different ways. You should create the select menus on-the-fly. As I did in the thread I mentioned, or you could clone the container div with all its children and then rename the id (last letter incremented with 1 as a suggestion).
