Question

I have a list of a href’s and I would like to create a drop down list from it.

How can i accomplish this without using jQuery?

I’m new to javascript…

Answer 1

var select = document.createElement("select");
for (var i=0; i<hrefs.length; i++) {
  var link = hrefs[i];
  var option = document.createElement("option");
  option.value = hrefs[i];
  option.innerHTML = i + ": " + hrefs[i]; // this is the label
  select.appendChild(option);
}
document.body.appendChild(select);

I’m not sure if the label is right; it depends on what you mean by a list of hrefs and what you want to do with the label. I’m assuming you have an array of links like [“http://google.com“, …].
