Problems with selectbox & Jscript

[Bombdrop]

Hi all I'm not much cop at JavaScript ( thought i do thinlk it's pretty cool) now how can i display the value of an item the code bellow sort of works

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!-- 

function submitform_List() {

alert("TEST!!!");
document.choiceForm.MyAccount.length++;
alert(document.choiceForm.MyAccount.length);
alert(document.choiceForm.MyAccount[0].text);

document.choiceForm.MyAccount[1].text="BombDrop";

//I can not display the value i have added to the new option???
document.choiceForm.MyAccount[1].value="123";
alert(document.choiceForm.MyAccount.value);


//document.choiceForm.submit();
}
</script>

Any help would be great

Just incrementing the length doesn't add an actual item!

<script type="text/javascript">
function submitform_list() {
  var form = document.getElementById("choiceForm");
  var select = form.elements["MyAccount"];
  var option = document.createElement("option");
  option.text = "BombDrop";
  option.value = "123";
  select.appendChild(option);
  // Now there's a real new option there.
  alert(select.options[select.options.length-1].value);
}
</script>
