Variable (dynamic) OPTION lists in HTML SELECT using IE

I am trying to implement a dynamic OPTION list in JavaScript. Depending on the other options in the web form, some of the OPTIONS in a particular SELECT are not valid. The things I've tried that don't work in IE are as follows:

  • fill in all parameters, then set disabled property to invalid ones
  • fill in all parameters and use parameter groups, then disable invalid parameter groups.
  • I even tried using the text-decoration: line-through style

At this point, I resigned myself to re-filling the SELECT with only valid OPTIONS, but it seems like there should be a better way that actually works in IE. I need IE6 and up compatibility. How did you deal with this?

Is there such a problem for repopulating a select with only valid parameters? I have used this method many times and have not encountered any problems.

In this case, select the really broken ...
