Aman I assume your using the options array to add the new items to your list. To delete and item just set its index to null. If you have a list named myList do this: myList.options[2] = null; This will remove the 3rd item from the options array and also compress the array. If the original options were 'item1, item2,item3,item4' after the above line it would now be: 'item1,item2,item4' hope that helps Dave
PS you'lleed to refresh the page to get the actual list on the screen to change. history.go(0); works but it must be the last thing you do.

Hi,
Just a suggestion here, but if the form/page contains a lot of data it might be more userfriendly to break it down into several small steps which are presented/filled in separately. This way the user might feel it's less tedious and you could do your refresh and have more dynamic content!

I agree. Here's the link: http://ej-technologies/jprofiler - if it wasn't for jprofiler, we would need to
run our stuff on 16 servers instead of 3.
