NIST An HTMLOptionsCollection is a list of nodes representing HTML option element. An individual node may be accessed by either ordinal index, the node's name or id attributes. (Test ordinal index). The item() method retrieves a node specified by ordinal index. A value of null is returned if the index is out of range. Retrieve the first SELECT element. Create a HTMLOptionsCollection. Retrieve the tenth item in the list - null should be returned since there are not 10 items in the list. Rick Rivello 2002-08-01
