Question

I am trying to add a drop down combo box with a drop down mega menu.This is my code

 if (trendsmega!="")
 { 
  var companymegaid=document.getElementById("megamenu-mlid-783");
  //alert("Found   "+trendmegaid.innerHTML);
if (companymegaid!="")
{ 
  var othercompaniesli=document.getElementById("megamenu-mlid-1185");
   alert(othercompaniesli.innerHTML);
   othercompaniesli.innerHTML="";
 othercompaniesli.innerHTML=  "<select> <option value="volvo">Volvo</option>    <option value="saab">Saab</option> <option value="mercedes">Mercedes</option> <option value="audi">Audi</option> </select>"; 
}
 }

I am getting the following error

  missing ; before statement
    [Break On This Error]   

     ....innerHTML=  "<select> <option value="volvo">Volvo</option> <option  value="saab"...

   /drupal/ (line 1329, col 56)

Can anyone help me how to add a combo box with innerhtml using java script.

Answer 1

Make use of ' instead of " in you code.. will remove error.

you code will be

othercompaniesli.innerHTML=  "<select> <option value='volvo'>Volvo</option>    <option value='saab'>Saab</option> <option value='mercedes'>Mercedes</option> <option value='audi'>Audi</option> </select>";
