Devassy,

Your question is not very clear. If it is how to retrieve the values from access database to selectbox , you should prob do it at the server side code by enumerating the records over the select options.

If it is about how to find the total count of the options for the select, use what Ben has suggested.

document.getElementById("Select2").options.length

Also make sure that the above script executes after the select element is loaded in to the DOM ie after window.onload is invoked.

It can be done by something like this.

I haven't tested it, but it should do..

To get the selected option: document.getElementById("Select2").options[document.getElementById("Select2").selectedIndex].value

To get an array with options: document.getElementById("Select2").options
