adding "MyElement":

ListAdd(COMBO_MaCombo, "MonElément" + gStoredValue("1"))

modifying "MyElement":

ListModify(COMBO_MaCombo, "MonNouvelElément" + gStoredValue("1"))

Modifying an element in the browser

Reminder: In "AJAX automatic and immediate" mode, simply switch the server processing containing the ListModify function to AJAX automatic mode. . That's it! No additional programming is required. For more details, see AJAX.

Miscellaneous
